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

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.

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...
