I once had my son (who was 17 at the time) do a water change after I went to bed. He forgot to turn the filter and water pumps back on after he was done and being that my tank sealed very well, I lost about 30% (several hundred dollars worth at the size they were) due to suffocation. I now have separate air pumps on a different power strip. We only shut off the water pumps and filter when changing water, the air pump stays on at all times. I even have a battery back up pump on the tank now. We call that time "The great kill-off"

Yes I am getting very excited to finally be able to add fish this weekend..she says crossing her fingers. Even w/ no fish I have found myself just sitting & watching the water movement..lol yes I have always had a tank of some sort...must say the bigger the easier, but I too have had my share of fish horror experiences, hopefully not anymore anytime soon.

Remember not to add too many fish too soon. It will need to cycle!!!!
