• I kept saying to clean the tank……………..

  Matthew has two tanks with fish in them.  He is great about feeding the fish every day and adding water when they get a little low.  Every couple of weeks he transfers Mr. Suck-Man from one tank to the other to help keep the algae level down to a minimum.  The tanks are really nice to have around.  The only thing that he neglects is vacuuming the fish poo out of them once in awhile and changing the cartriges in the filters. 

  

  So the tanks got a little nasty.  No, lets be truthful, they got really nasty.  Like in so nasty that the smell of fish poo in the tank in his bedroom was able to overcome the smell of teenage boy.  That’s pretty nasty.

  

  Even Mr. Suck-Man was not equal to the task.  You cannot even see the individual leaves on the plants they are so covered with algae and fish poo.  It is a miracle that he only lost one fish to this disaster.

  

  So the evil mother witch came to his house this past weekend and came down hard on him about the poo smell in the living room and the bedroom and made him clean up his act.  Now we have two very clean fish tanks and many smiling fish.  I burned some candles and the poo smell is gone too.
