Here is one more to tell you what an airhead I have been, I seen those
jungle clear water tabs, and picked them up because even with water
changes my goldfish tank was still cloudy, I was to the point I was
changing some water every day, not a lot but still, I was telling my
husband I got them so the tank would be purple (so he did not think the
kids put something in it) he started to laugh and said how about I just
clean it with the tank sponge ...I said for what that wont make the water
clear, he went in and cleaned it and sure enough it was clear as new
water....eww ....he just smiled at me and went back to what he was
doing...it never occurred to me that it was the glass and not the
water....

*grin* A long time ago, I commented on how clear a friend's tanks were.
He told me that the one thing that makes a tank look its best is to have
clean glass both inside and out. It's one of the best little bits of
advice I've ever gotten.

I had friends over from the aquarium society over to see my tanks and they
commented on how clear the water was. They didn't believe me, but I'm
sure it's because I scrupulously cleaned the glass that morning.

Did you read the FAQ? http://faq.thekrib.com

you know I don't even know why I did not think of that, I guess because in
my gourami tank the glass is always so clean I don't bother cleaning the
inside...I also have a pl*co hard at work in that tank. I wonder if the
pl*co would like that tank better....do they do better in warm or cold tanks
I guess warm huh....

koi-lo...I don't know what the h*ll they think is in that filter but that
one snail is sure that is where he wants to be, I was surprised going out of
the water did not kill him, I guess its only a small space he went though to
get to the other side. I was very surprised to see him there...
