    haha melted!? That made me chuckle...yup, my fish are on a tight schedule and daylight savings threw them off to the point of suicide. hehe

    didn't notice anything really...

    Why change your timer?
    Sun rises and sets the same no matter what your clock says

    I like the viewing time I have with the tank of an evening is why I change the time. Can't get my work to let me come in at a 1 hr different time.
