Talk about a monday!


Hey what can I say, it's monday. First I have to drag my but out of bed at seven this morning after four days of not getting up before noon. Then at work I can't figure out how to load the material into one of the machines. After that I come home tonight and the skimmer has gone crazy and there's a minor overflow (good thing the roommate wasn't home). To top it all off I can't find my small batfish so I think he must have died today.

I feel your pain... we had 2 floods at the store yesterday. Fish decided to swim into an overflow and clog it (the fish is fine...) and about 20 gallons overflowed, then for no apparent reason one of our 75s decided to hiccup all over the floor....

Thank God for Shop Vacs!

Thankfully it was just a small overflow, got it cleaned up with a towel. I'm not sure how old the bat was but I had him for about a month and he was about two and a half inches. What's worse is that the larger bat now has a cloudy eye. This weekend I'm going to do about a 40 percent water change, change the carbon and thouroghly clean the tank. Hopefully that will help him
