No pictures on this one.
Saturday morning I went out to feed the fish. They were lively and it was a pleasure to hang out with them. I did my water tests and the pH was still just a tad higher than I wanted it to be, so I splashed some acid into the sump tank. Evidently it was too much. Three hours later I had floaters. I started flushing with tap water, but my mother was there to celebrate Mother's Day, and she's not an AP fanatic. So putting her off wasn't an option. When I came home from dinner I flushed some more water through. By morning the remainder were floating. I spent Sunday replacing 90% of the water.
I'm pretty upset about it.
