    Ok so I thought I made clear to my family that only me and my mom were allowed to touch my tank...
    My sister threw in half a bottle of pellets into the tank... My mom woke me up so I rushed down and was able to take 90% of them out.
    Good thing I got home yesterday..... ( welcomeback present! >.<)
    Now I'm rushing to the lfs because apparently I don't have prime in my house.
    Once I get back I'll pour some in.

    Do you guys think I have to do a water change? Or will the prime do since I took most of them out and the fish will eat the rest?

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Water changes, as well as some Prime, wet skim. Personally I prefer spaced out smaller water changes but that is just me.

    Good luck, I hope it all works out.

    I would get a bucket and suck out as much pellets as you can through a filter sock and reuse the water and then treat it.

    Thanks guys... In my lfs I got some prime and bought a new siphon.
    That took a lot of the extra food into the filter suck. Now there is only a few here and there. ( worked like a charm)

    I added prime as well, everything looks good so far.
