    I hope you love your wife a lot and have plenty of games to keep you two from wanting to strangle each other.

    Could anyone please let me know if going from a full concentration of cupramine (.5) to a copper free environment will cause any serious issues for my fish? Thank you

    Im sorry to hear. I have heard of using a 5 gallon bucket, drilling a small hole in the bottom of it, and sitting it on the corner of the tank to drip water back in to keep O2 levels up. Maybe you can go to an outdoors/sports store as they usually sell battery powered air pumps for fishing and get plenty of batteries.

    I have an idea. I would invest in natural gas as soon as the market opens tomorrow and run short with it. I should have done this yesterday.
