I was trying to use this tong things my mom bought in the tank. They are HUGE and only give me about five inches to work with, instead of what i was asking for. I wanted something long i could get stuff out of the tank with so i wouldn't have to get my hands in the water at all, but these are just terrible.
So i'm trying to maneuver these giant things in the water to get a pony who seemed to be stuck on this black algae in the chaeto. I get him out just fine, but then i knock over the powerhead which doesn't stay on the glass AT ALL, so if you even touch it it falls. So now i got a powerhead shooting debris and ponys everywhere, i run to turn it off.
Now i have a powerhead sitting at the bottom of the tank, so i have to take out the filter which blocks a third of the top of the tank. And the two coords are all tangled, so i have to set it on top of the tank, not out of the way. So i'm trying to get this powerhead hooked back on the glass while there is a wet filter blocking my way, and of course the tangled coords move, and knock over the air pump next to the tank.
The tube shoots out of the brine shrimp hatchery and throws nasty water all over me.
And then once i get it all cleaned up, hooked back up, and lookin pretty....the power head doesn't work.
Now i've spent an hour messing with all this crap just to end up with a non-working powerhead.
My baby dissapeared earlier today and i've still yet to see it, although he looked fine before he dissapeared.
EDIT: Powerhead is working now thankfully.
