Water on the Floor

It's never good to come into work and see water on the floor.
I mean, granted, if it's because the floors have just been cleaned, then it's understandable for it to be wet.
But puddles of water on the floor aren't good.
As that indicates something broke and/or overflowed.
Which usually means that something went wrong in my dept.
As that's where most of the water in the store is....

So, when I came into work today.
I saw a rather large puddle of water on the floor.
By our reptile cages.

O.o Which is rather odd....since there's hardly any reason for there to be water on the floor there.
Except....our Turtle tank is located there.
And unsurprisingly, the puddle of water originated from around that particular tank.

O.o
But why the water would flood....that was the confusing thing.
As the cage is self contained, and there is no chance for it to overflow....since there's only a certain amount of water that's located in the cage.
-If the water levels get too low, we add in more water.

Which since there was no obvious reason for the tank to overflow...
I had to wonder if somehow...a leak had formed. A crack or a hole or something.

However,
I discovered, once I had a chance to look at it closer.
That it wasn't a crack at all.

Within the turtle cage we have a filter. One of those that you place in the cage instead of hanging off the back.
Somehow.
Either via a coworker moving the filter forward,
Or the turtles themselves pushing it forward.
But somehow the filter ended up at the front of the tank -where the glass doors that open the cage are.
And got tilted forward.
So that the water within the filter was pouring against the glass and into the seam there...which then seeped onto the floor.
Once the water level in the tank got too low for the filter to be able to pull water into it.
It stopped flooding the floor around the tank.

Which since it happened during the night, leads me to believe that the turtles are the ones who moved the filter.

In any case.
Our cleaning guy quickly cleaned up the water on the floor, while I then moved the filter to its proper location, refilled the tank up, and established that there was no more water leaking out.

Thankfully it seems to be fine now.
The last thing I need is a leaking cage.
