HEY guys
i was just wondering if tank cleaning day was a fav day of yours
it surely is my fav day have a nice cold beer and clean the tank
it is good to see my O swimming around all joyfull when i do this
religouse activerty its great fun for me lols =]

Hell yeah benno water change days ...I look forward to them especially a couple of hours later when everything has settled and its all clean again.

I just finished the one in my bedroom. It was the biggest clean ever as I replaced the gravel....got sick of the rainbow stuff that my daughter picked out originally and went for the au natural look. Just staring at it now because it looks like a new tank now! Didn't touch the filter or scrub the ornaments but I did clean out the pipes...looks good...

I tend to make up excuses for water changes. To be honest I rarely go 3 days without some sort of water change/cleaning.

it makes me smile lol
the beer i mean lol
i am just about to start my tank now just finishing lunch
a dogs eye and pasta

same as ex.
apples and pairs = the stairs
plates of meat = your feet
dogs eye = meat pie

Cant say I look forward to water changes especially when theres 2 6ft tanks to be cleaned, I can think of quite few things Id rather be doing, but I know it needs to be done so I do it, I wouldn't have taken on the responsibility of owning an Oscar if I was prepared to do lots of water changes, unfortunately there is a lot of people who do just that.

i only have one 4ft tank and 1 O
so its a halfa or 45min job

I do my water changes every monday night, tuesday if i am busy on mon nights. Takes me about 1.5 to 2 hours (about 1 hour of this is watching them refill from the tap via a hose) to do my 3 tanks (180g, 100g, 70g) and i fit my g-friend little goldfish tank in as well (is only a little tank so i dont count it as a tank).

LOL. very interesting stuff. I must say I have never heard of anything like it.

As far as looking forward to waterchanges. I do look forward to it. I have my process down to an efficient science and I love the feeling when it is done and I feel like my fish are enjoying fresh clean water.
