Yes I hope she is one the mend. I'll keep you posted. Thanks!

The most recent thing I did in the tank was replace the air tubes that connect to the top of the power head. There are two power heads. Last week, one of them stopped working. The airway had become blocked -- it was white in color - calcium deposits maybe? Anyway it stopped adding air into...
