I know what you are talking, happened to me with a small AC filter in a 10G tank, and created a mess of water in a shelve of books, I can not imagine in a 6 ft tank !

Omg, I am the same way now! I can't wait to get all my canisters going so I can lose the 110's because I'm so paranoid!

On a lighter note, here is a vid of the babies hating each other as per usual lol

Sorry that happened Jess. Canisters can fail also. Maintenance is a huge part of keeping things running properly and then you won't have to worry about getting all wet.

Lol, I'm the same way haha! And thanks! I guess it's growing on me More Ruti Island fry I did a quick count & it's somewhere between 60-68 all cozy & comfy in they're 10g planted now. I start them all in planted tanks, they like to nibble at the plants & provides plenty of cover

Looks great I just read the entire thing you seem to have work extremely hard on this one huh. By the way do you think you could spare a few of your new fry to a fellow fishkeeper.
