I'm going to pick up some floss and some new carbon bags. I also need a new bucket of salt... tank is really cowdy, kinda green/yellow color. Skimmer is full again.

At least with a 20g tank 50% waterchanges aren't difficult or expensive.

Good luck!

I would almost consider a 100% change.

I've thought about that. But then I'd have to catch my fish :smile: I did a 75% tonight.

Our childern haven't ever over-fed our fish, However, after watching us do several water changes, I guess they decided to do a water change of there own. We have a 25 gal quarantine set up in our office, and one morn. found it milky white in color, absolutely destroyed. Three larger perculas dead. As it turns out, after alot of investigation, we realized our 5 and 6 yr old kids dumped approx 2 lbs. of suger into the tank! I still don't know what the heck they were thinking, and felt awful for the poor fish, and what they must have gone through. Have taken measures to insure this never happens again, but it never should have happened in the first place!

:eek: I finally got the tank cleared up. Just wondering though, my skimmer now fills up with water in about 5 minuts since changing so much water. I tried adjusting it but it does the same... is this normal?

Too much new water syndrome.
Give it a week, it will go back to normal.
