Be honest! And discrete if the need be!

I'll admit it - I'm not perfect.
I don't do everything on time, but I'll get it done.
 
I have no schedule...but I have testing supplies that I use everyonce in a while...so everything's good.
 
Once in a while I miss a water change,but it gets done in the next couple of days. With 8 tanks running at the moment,a full time job,two kids and five step kids........life can get manically busy.
 
Every now and then i'll miss a water change by a couple of days, or even do one a couple of days early, it doesn't matter so much with my tanks if water changes are slightly delayed or done early as they are all lightly stocked and have good filtration- its usually my main 125gal tank that i delay water changes because of, as doing a 30-40% water change, substrate cleaning session and filter clean out can take such a long time in such a big tank as i prefer to get everything done in one go when i do tank cleaning sessions :X .
 
Umm... I wouldn't like to say. But once everythings properly racked up and I can actually move around then it'l get better.
 
When I' at home I'm usually pretty good, I actually emjoy water changes+ it gets me out of more tedious jobs such as dusting and tidying toys away. But my fish do have to cope for 2 week periods without a water change when I'm away on holiday. They only get fed every other/every three days in the holidays though, so hopefully that keeps down on the mess.
 
I dont really have a strict schedule but then in FW its not quite as import as SW. I do a water change,plant trim and clean the algae every week give or take a few days but the levels are always fine so i'm sure it would go longer without a problem.
 
I've miss them every now and then, but I always make up for them a few days later. The levels have always been fine, so it's never been a problem in the least. :) I'm definitely not perfect though.
 
im quite loose, but not as loose as my girlfriend

ergh, that sounded wrong :huh:
 
:lol:

I was trying to stick with a schedule but sometimes life gets in the way. I went two weeks without cleaning the gravel/doing a water change and boy did I pay for it. I still have have to clean the gravel again today because it's so messy. I think I'm going to have to fire my ghost shrimp, they're not doing a very good job of cleaning up.
 
I'll skip a couple of days when things happen in life, except for fry tanks.
