I just did my first water change in some time. The tank has been neglected for too long. All I've done to it is add some top off water every other day for the last couple of months (Even my fish look hungry). I'll blame my faulty ATO for that one :hmm3: Apparently, silicone doesn't stick well to the slip-fit cap of a 5 gallon water jug. This time I went with several layers of a liquid rubber. It seems to be doing the trick for the moment. It sure will be nice top off once a week or so.
