    i cant even beleive what i did last nght, i sold my skimmer because i am getting a new berlin today. i thought, no big deal, they can be without skim for a night, well in my stupidity (and with everything else thats been going on) it completely slipped my mind to add an air source or a stone to the tank while i wait for the new skimmer........yeah no oxygen, i dont even deserve to keep fish right now....hippo dead, kole dead, yellow dead, coral beauty dead, vermiculated angel dead..........5 dead and its all my fault.....i want to puke right now. jsut thought i'd share that.

    i cant believe i forgot air stone, my friend just went through the same thing 3 days ago, heleft in the morning and somehow everything came unplugged from his wall, 2 huge triggers and two huge puffers gone, no air either for his. ouside stress plus 7-8 inches of snow in one night and having fish just dont mix sometimes....
