Oh gosh . . . can you believe it?! It's been exactly twelve weeks -- THREE   
   MONTHS -- since I last conducted a major tank maintenance for my poor little   
   mbunas. What a terrible fish keeper I've been! I know that it is going to   
   take a few hours of back-breaking work, so I tend to procrastinate and put   
   it off for as long as I can. Truthfully though, apart from being a bit lazy,   
   I've just been so busy lately with different facets of our online Christian   
   ministry.   
      
   Well, today was the day. After looking at them, and repeatedly promising   
   them that I'd get to it, I finally stopped what I was doing -- I'm always   
   busy -- and put my hands to the task.   
      
   In addition to a twenty-four gallon water change, I scrubbed down all four   
   glass panes -- including the back pane this time, which I rarely ever do --   
   and I cleaned the two power heads, as well as the two Penguin Bio-Wheel   
   filters, including the filter media. Boy were those things dirty! In fact,   
   the water had taken on a slight greenish tinge it was so bad.   
      
   I hope my fish don't die of shock from having clean water in the tank!  :P
