-- Posted by blufindr at 3:53 am on Dec. 31, 2008 Do a water change tomorrow. My tank is slightly yellow. But somehow, the thought of spending the first day of the new year elbow-deep in fish water, just isn't appealing. -- Posted by katbabes at 3:53 am on Dec. 31, 2008 haha i agree with you! -- Posted by bend at 4:13 am on Dec. 31, 2008 Quote: from blufindr at 12:53 pm on Dec. 31, 2008 Do a water change tomorrow.

I need to change at least 10 gallons It doesn't work like that. Plus I've got to clean out the gravel and the fastest way to do that is with a gravel vacuum.
