What To Do?

[rob newland]

Right - heres the situation:
I have 3 fish tanks that need cleaning out and my left hand is really swollen and bruised, so i can't use a gravel syphon to clean them out and nobody wants to help (surprise surprise). Then last night stumbling in the dark i trod on my gravel syphon and broke it - I don't get paid until next thursday and nobody is going to lend me money to buy one .
So the long and short of it is it seems like I wont be able to clean out my fish tanks until next thursday...
What do i do?
Thanks,
Rob

what i would do is at least do a water change....use the pipe from the gravel cleaner and suck it into buckets and empty them.....do atleast a 25%water change......i managed to move a 5ft/2ft/2ft tank and set it up and preform waterchanges/cleaning with a broken hand...just go easy

Well, I would say the easiest way to do it, would be to get a cup and just cup out like 20 percent of the water. Put the chemicals in first, then fill her back up with clean tap. Gravel vacuum can hold off for a little!
