glad he is better. I'm guessing he'll be a little moody though...

Water improving all the time, the fluval 4+ working full pelt, and the Uni UV filter too. Stats so far Nitrite .15, ammonia .18, another water change tomorrow should fix that, hopefully.

A BIT???

That third picture was himher hitting the glass! Now he won't talk to anyone, and spend the time round the back of his big stone!
We think he's got a massive "cob" on!
Honestly, it's worse than a kid with a tantrum!!

But we love him, and we'd really miss him if he wasn't here. Daft, aren't we?

After doing a water change last sunday I forgot to turn the pump, heater and filters back on. It was 4 days before I realized what I did. Everyone was ok, thank goodness. Although it was not my puffer tank, so I don't know how they would do. I'm sure he is just giving you attitude right now. Glad to hear that everything turned out ok. Maybe we should all invest in a batterey operated air pump for emergencies. It wouldn't be a bad idea.

Just wanted to say thanks everyone for all your help and encouragement.....

This is what I set my 55g puffer tank up with: http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Xpower-P ... tDetail.do

The bummer is I can not set up both tanks on it.

That's good idea, I'll look into it.
But then I do already have one, lying in the back cupboard, which is a bit old (left over from the stairlift installation), so I'm wondering if i could rug that up for the next time.

Mine is set up under my 55g tank...ready to go if the power does go out. I'd pull yours out and set it up!

Friend who is a qualified electrician, has checked it over, and said, no sorry it won't do.

so I'll have to buy a new one -- grr.

Lets just hope we don't get another powercut before it arrives!!

Ohh, that sux's!

How is your water parameters going?
