Figures. That would be too convenient. I love using the too short filter brush attached to fish tape (electrician's tool)!

tut tut fishfanatic!!!

The OCD explains it then!! Lol. Got to have an OCD for cleaning fish tanks when you spend every day doing it just to please people like yourselfs would be enough to drive any sane person to despair!

I have 120 tanks to gravel clean twice a week, algae wipe 3 times a week, clean the light trays every two weeks, clean the taps, strainers and pipework every week, water change once or twice a week (although tank god its easier as its 5 filters to just change taps on to change the water and auto top up).

Then there are the outdoor systems and ponds i hate... outdoor stuff... so much colder and slimier and full of snails and leeches and mosquito larvae *shudders*

Good job i have OCD/OCD tendancies anyway lol. Ironically... hand washing is one of them so working with water is handy

I thought my tanks were enough work but 120 geez! I'm definitely just under the "need medication" point on the OCD scale I actually like maintaining my tanks. I turn up some music and me and the kids dance around while I haul buckets!

I don't do my filters every time as some of the gunk in there will be good for my plants. Probably once a month I do a really thorough clean.
