When I went to grab my dw to put it back in long and behold there was one of my prized and expensive zebra pleco's dead I never saw him stuck to the wood ughhh!!! Guess I didn't check every nook and cranny good enough. That was a bad day for me

I just got severe back spasms by reaching into a really high tank and siphoning the bottom. I'll use a chair next time.
I have never been in so much pain in my life...

Alyxx said:I've done that a couple times, but I've caught it before it made a huge mess every time so far...
Alyxx said:Last night I used my new siphon for the first time. It's really long, so the end wanted to come out of the bucket every time... Didn't make too much of a mess...
TenaciousTriggerFish said:I was cleaning my tank and later couldn't find me pleco...... Then I poured the filter water into a pot. *plunk*. -_-' exactly what was his plan from there I wonder???
Alyxx said:My last pwc was just one mistake after another. Ended up with a mouthful of water starting the siphon in my 5 gal because I can't prime it normally because the tank is too shallow, then the end of the hose fell out of the bucket. Had the hose splash out of the bucket again doing the 20 gal, and while returning with a full bucket of new water I tripped and sloshed a good bit onto the floor. And I almost forgot to add prime to 2 out of 3 buckets. Keyword being almost, thankfully. I am so happy I have tile floors though...
