Aquarium Advice Addict
This forum is for all to join in and tell us some of the stupid things you've done with your aquarium.
To start off, this week was a doosie, lol. First, a few days ago I finally received the digital thermometer with alarms. I was so excited, and set it up. I set it on it's stand above the light fixture. Later that evening, I went to feed the fish, and without looking, I opened the top like I normally do. The only thing is, I knocked the thermometer into the tank. By the time I got it out, it was full of water and no more display. Now I have to get a new one, as it's permanently damaged.
Then the next morning, I was in a rush to get to work, and was going to fill my filter cartrige with zeolite crystals. I filled it, put it in the tank, and turned the powerhead on, and guess what? Poof, tank is all white, lol. Forgot to rinse it off. So I quickly used a pitcher and filled a 5 gallon bucket with tank water, then I used the full 5 gallon bucket I prepped the night before to fill the tank back up. It's a 26G tank, so that's a quick 20% change. I hoped the fish would be ok. When I got home from work, I looked at the tank, and it was so crystal clear, I couldn't believe it, lol. I never seen a tank so clear. A major goof lead to a crystal clear tank, lol. And the fish are loving it.
So that's my stupid things I did this week. Tell us some of yours....
