I've been bad

Trouble at work, two heart attacks, family difficulties, 3 kids, soccer, football, ballet, baseball, swimming... typical stuff but of course it was me being lazy. As I said in the post, I built my sump all wrong and it was diffucult to get into the back to clean the floss so I tended to just keep it in until it started to smell. My plan is to keep filter media right at the front so it's easy to get at, and water changes are on the to do list now.

Oh my god I don't do any of that stuff, the kids all do it, we just drive them and holler a lot from the sidelines. Thanks for the welcome backs and yes again but this time I'm going to be here a while, maybe even post some pics etc... the normal folk stuff.

Hey welcome back

Welcome back. I think we can all relate to how easy it is to let the tank get away a little.

Looking forward to those pictures.

No bloody wonder you didn't have time for your tank!

Glad to see you back in it, and take care of that heart: S/W can be kind of stressful at times.
