I'VE GOT TWO BALLS!!!!
I'm really quite upset about it though. I got my ball stuck in the sucking thingy on the end of my siphon. I was shaking the siphon vigorously thinking that would make the ball fall out. (does with little MTS that end up in the way)... didn't work and the moss ball got jammed up in the valve.
I was so mad at myself... I did manage to rescue it out- but it broke in half in the process. Good news is... surprisingly both balls are very round despite their recent ordeal... it's just I have two little balls now! My balls will never grow if I subject them to this sort of torture... grrrr...
I do know to be more carefull when cleaning my green balls now- I should not let my balls get sucked up... (I was hoping to clean debris off it- not suck it up).
Anyhow- advice to everyone- be carefull not to cause damage to your balls when cleaning your tank.
