damselfish: (leaping stoat)

Made a post to the Planted Tank about discus versus angels and was told "get rid of your water, seriously, it's revolting." Okay not really, I just love that meme. But I was told my water is too gross for discus and I am too lazy. But there is no way I am doing 50% water changes using buckets. That's 10.71 buckets each way. At minimum!

Realized I needed a plan.

Cut up a garden hose to attach it to the siphon so I can run the siphon directly to the toilet and no longer lug around heavy buckets. I have removed 10.71 buckets from a 50% water change.

Feel smart.

Failed to siphon because of gravity.

Feel sweaty.

Made a little elevated highway for the hose using water buckets.

Feel smart.

Cleaned up the water from my wood floor when the siphon broke.

Feel confused. I do not know whether to cheer that my hose works or cry because my floor is covered in water.

Cut hose shorter.

Get tangled in shirt because really sweaty.

Cheer for gravity.

Oh yeah, and I had my last exam of law school ever EVER and I am graduating cum laude.

But seriously, the hardest thing I did today was gravity.
