Fish Fanatic
Last night I got home from work and noticed that my power head had stopped working, so I took it out and fiddled around a bit.
When I put it back on and turned it on, there was loads of gravel in the tube, so I decided to take everything out and start again, using the same water and gravel.
While I was siphoning out the water, the heater exploded, I believe this is quite a common mistake in beginners, but I still feel like an idiot.
So anyway, last night my fish were without a heater. I wonder how long they will last. Of to the LFS in my lunch break to buy a new one, hopefully they will be OK, they all looked fine this morning, and the water was still about 24.
What an idiot.
