So I put my cricket cage under my fish tank and the cat got in behind it and turned off the power switch getting back there. . . . 8 hours ago! This is going to be so much fun to have a overstocked uncycled/Slightly cycled tank. My levels were finally getting back to normal from adding the new canister. I DONT KNOW IF I WANT TO CHOKE THE CAT, CRY, OR BOTH.

that sucks! you need to wear patience pants..... don't hurt the cat,
that is against the teachings of Abraham LOL...

no kidding aside, when we lost power, i find out i lost my bb after
6 hours without power... since you have it 8 hours, i am affraid
you had lost them too... but how did you know it is 8 hours?
i suggest you run the system and check the water immediately.
if it remains fine.... you can rejoice... if not....
have to start again.

that really sucks man....

Patience nothing Kill the cat!!

PAUL Im pretty sure its 8 hours. Even if it wasnt I am still just seeding my new canister filter so thats shot all to hell =(

My cat got into my 90gal stand and decided to chew on the airhoses.
Luckily it was just for a couple spare sponge filters and not my canister.

Mine ignore the fish and go for the other stuff... grrrrr

I'm right there with you with the cat drama!

No she went through the back of the stand to try to get to the cricket cage underneath it and stepped on the power strip. My cats dont give 2 shits about my fish.

I can see that a cat would find crickets irresistable

Good news! I let my tank go for 5 days w/o a water change and IM CYCLED (ENOUGH) AGAIN! Now I only have to do a w/c every 3 days. O and I didnt kill the cats.

Glad to hear everything is looking good man! My cats tried to paw at the oscars I have and my bigger one came swimming at the glass really fast and scared the crap out of the cat...now they don't even go near the tank! haha! But I can see how having crickets under the tank might me enticing to the cats!
