you are supposed to be doing 1 in the morning (getting up) and 1 at night (before bed).

This is why I keep checking up on you ;)

Remember? take out 1/2 the water and fill it with the water you put in the 5 gal earlier?
if you follow me, you avoid stepping in the crap that I just did...

Ok, let's hope that the water changed stops the damage, and hopefully begins to reverse it..
