Only time I've ever.taken a week off work, mysterious back strain?? Doc was more.concerned about the ice burns from me trying to numb it out. Get better papa! Aleve, ice and heat pad. Don't stay still! No heavy lifting! Iight Tank maintenance/stretching may help. Feel better bro.

Yeah all that is good advice dude. I only use ice but I get a lot of swelling. I have a broken vertebrae so I know what yours going through, hurts like a bugger. No gymnastics !

I'm starting to join that club slowly I think...

[Andy Sager]

Yeah, this club is definitely one I wish would have kicked me out of it. Now it just keeps kicking me.

You know you're an aquarium nerd when you have a bad back from lugging buckets....

You guys and your buckets. There are easier ways to do your water changes.

Great minds think alike. I built a pvc adapter for mine so I can't siphon off a predetermined amount of water without having to stand there the whole time. Laziness breeds innovation.

Yeah, except some of us have been hauling buckets longer than the company that makes the Python has been in existence. The dye was cast long ago. ( FYI: it's a knockoff from the Water Bed fill up piece. Not too original, just modified. )

I have a python but I just use buckets on other tanks while the python drains my bigger tanks.... Gotta go fast

Same here! I can do all my tank minus one with buckets, while I am draining my 55.

I don't use the python. I have an aqueon but I've never opened the package. I lug waste water buckets but fill with the hose. I have fry in so many tanks I have to siphon super carefully.

Yep. Totally going to get a python one day. No more buckets up a chair for me!

🌺 Are you better yet, Poppa?

[nerdelish]

I hope you feel better soon! Those fishes miss you messing around in their tanks!

[PoppaRyno]
