What a night (in fishy ol' Galveston)

[alexarae]

to add to "what a night"-
I just added on my second filter to the 110. It's a rena xp3...
I somehow got the hoses switched....only God knows what happened.
Also, only God knows why I was changing a filter with my mouth wide open.

Needless to say, it somehow started shooting debris into my aquarium...it was reversed...very odd.
So, I turned it off....pulled the tubes out to switch them quickly...
BAM!!!
I will never know why my mouth was open, maybe it's like when women put on mascara...we have to have our mouths open.
I got it in the mouth. BAD. I feel like a drank a gallon before I realized I was drowning in fish dookey water.
I gagged for about 1/2 a minutes and then I realized that my living room was filling with water, the hose was somehow still sucking the water out of the tank.

Story of my life, I got it under control...sadly, I tasted fish...poop.  :wail:

So, I go outside to get some fresh air...and just my luck, my neighbor is gutting his newly caught fish on his dock next door.
We know what happened next.  :sick:

I grew up swimming in the Bayous.   Getting a little fishie water in the mouth is no big deal.
Try syphoning gas out of a car tank  :bswithstupid:

Re: What a night (in fishy ol' Galveston)

lmao...funny thing...that's why I bought the rena xp3 in the first place. My eheim was acting funny...so, I called a few of my fish friends and we figured that, in the end, I needed to suck the hose.

However, I had kept old media in the filter in this particular eheim in hopes to keep some of the good bacteria kicking in my new tank.
The air from that son of a gun had me gagging all over my living room...people think the water is what tastes terrible...the air was rancid.  8O
So, I just went and bought a new one. I couldn't suck anymore...

So, to all of you who suck your hoses...I salute you.
I'm dedicated but I gag easy.

There are SO many good places in a conversation to shut up...I think I'll pick this one.
