Are your fish messy eaters?

I mean, I'm not going to turn the halides off, wait for them to cool, then wipe the water off, then turn them back on every time. Argh, but at least all my fish are fat and happy and I've had them long term. Sorry, just venting, that's all.

Maybe if your fish were not so big Dez you would not have that problem! Ha ha!

My Lunare Wrasse is the worst. It sometimes splashes as much as a cup of water 3 or 4 feet from the tank. Usually right in my face! If he wasn't so pretty I'd have filleted and deep-fried him long ago.

Pffft, there are days when the front glass on my tank looks like Niagara falls.

I swear Doofus is trying to fill the house with tank water so he has more swimming room
