Near disaster

 I am super forgetful. Needed to fill a bucket with pond water. Placed the water pump's outlet into a bucket and forgot about it!!! Drained half the pond before I realised :(

Thank God I saw this before even more drained out. I did put into place a setup that wouldnt drain everything, just by placing the powerhead on a couple of bricks. The height would minimise the damage... the worse case scenario would be 2/3 loss of water
