Thanks guys! Yes... I will continue to keep at it... and I'm sure I will have more messes, lol.
One positive about the mishap, aside from giving us all a laugh:
My husband, (who has heard me say many times that small tanks are more difficult than large tanks), after watching the chaos Friday, his face contorted into a grimace, and in a very frustrated voice asked, 'If I get you a bigger tank will it be less trouble?"
Ugh! What a week you had! I thought I might electrocute myself just installing a UV filter with water going everywhere including the powerstrip.
I love that your husband offers the best cure he can at the moment, a new big tank will make it all better. Sweet he's trying to ease the pain. (& it just may help, LOL)
