Funny how easy it is to mess things up!!!

After doing a PWC on my 20g, I put the filter pad back in, and not paying attention, I learned real quickly that I did not get it as cleaned off as I thought. How did I learn this? I put the darn pad back in backwards, and when I turned my filter back on, the tank was immediatley filled with fish poop and other nasty stuff. Well, my 25% PWC has now been followed by a 50% PWC, and will be followed by another just before bed, and testing, testing, testing.
Oh well, lesson learned. I just shared this so that hopefully someone else may learn from my boo-boo.

It happens I am sure it will cause no long term issues.

Three tests and 2 more pwcs yesterday, and another test this morning were all good. No spikes at all and the fish all happy, active, and feeding. The bloodfin tetras even did their traditional egg drop!
