Well the title says it. I just didn't have anyone to talk to so I figured what the hell I would post it.

Today was a nice day so I figured I would clean out my fish tank. I need to leave the front door open for the hose, I have a 80 gallon built in the wall with... well I Had six full grown African Cichlids in it.

With an underground filter the water circulates through the gravel and the bacteria build up in the gravel cleans the water. I have been doing this for years, more then I care to admit.

Well over time this shit gets to be too much and you need to clean it. Not very often like once a year or two. The way you do it is with this clear 2 inch around tube that attached to the end of a hose. You create a siphon and stick the tube in the gravel, as it sucks water out it takes the dirt and drops the gravel back into the tank right.

Well as you do this you lose water and need to fill it back up again. I usually stop when the tank is half full and fill it back up. Well that's what I did but I forgot to turn the heater back on and I froze them. FUCK. I know better then that. They were real nice too. After several years they finally stopped killing and eating each other. My favorite was an albino I have had for 5 years or more. She was a good six inches long. Perfect condition.

When I saw them at the bottom of the tank and upside down I felt the water and knew what happened. I ran and got a 5 gallon bucket and added warm water and tossed them in it, They are in there now but I don't think its going to work. No movement at all.

When I think about how anal I am about my water I grow with then I do this...

OK well that helped. Im still pissed at myself though. I always pay close attention to detail. Hell I was not even stoned. GRRR.


Time for a fatty.
