Well what do you want us to say, it wasn't phrased as a question so you weren't requesting help. It was a statement to which I gave my opinion.


OK here's some help, if that is what you are looking for. I suggest if your looking for the proper fishkeepers solution to how to reduce the amount of time you spend fiddling with your fish tank then the best solution by far is to buy a second one. That way you have to spend time on second tank, therefore preventing you from working on the first. Problem solved?

well when you start paying 40 quid an hour, I'll start acting like a psychiatrist...fair enough?!

What kind of answer are you looking for? It might be better if you just tell me then I can cut and paste into my reply.

I'm exactly the same, speaking of psychiatry I think we can officially class this as an OCD. Even though I know my tank is fine, there is nothing I need to do, nothing I need to buy. I will always find the smallest excuse to change something or drive to LFS just to see if anything intresting has come in.

Your probably right but I don't class it as a disorder. I've discussed it with myself and we both agree it's a perfeclty natural thing to do.

Both tut tut and LOL @ darkstar.

I have the same problem. Well, I dont. If I find something I want changing, I get hubby to do it, so it really doesn't bother me....

I dont so much as keep fiddling with my tank as noticing that the spary bar is 1.9cm from the surface on the left and 2cm on the right so in we go and 'nudge' it up.

Tomorrow I'll decide it was right before and nudge it again.

My UV is not perfectly vertical 'nudge'

The heater is 1 degree from vertical 'nudge'

The 'tree stump' isn't sitting perfectly level leaving a gap between it and the sand at the front 'nudge'
