My Three year old likes to unplug my filters and it has become a habit
for him . This happens while I am at woork .
And means I have Still water for about 6 hr .
I allways feel like I have to do a water change .
The fish do not seam to be in stress , They
Just chill like nothings out of the norm .

My question is , "Are there any water oxygen experts out there",
When I turn My filters and power heads back on will it re oxygenate my water
or do I need to do water change to re obtain full oxygen levels .
:popcorn:
 
the oxygen will be replaced. The thing to worry about most with still water is ammonia build up. With no water running through your filters there is not much biological filtration going on.
 
I would put more focus on getting the children to stop unplugging the tank. Next thing you know they might unplugg the heater.
 
smack the hell out of him, then put him ina pillow case and throw him off the porch and see how he likes it
 
wait...that wasnt very nice
 
My roommates and boyfriends cat often turn my power strips off. Unless the fish are gasping i usualy just turn them back on. Some one gave me a good tip, if its a power strip just tape the button down, i guess you could try to take the cord to the wall just as easily.
 
i couldnt deal with something that nerve racking, thats why i wont have kids.
 
Put a sheet of metal on the floor and then ground it. Then strip one of the wires on the power outlet. After one good jolt, he won't unplug them anymore.

Of course, isn't your three year old kinda young to spend the day at home alone? :popcorn:













Of course, I am kidding.:banhim:
 
Ya my wife clams to not see him do this . she says she dose not notes
because she is not all ways staring at it like me . Ban Her .
I just might be able to duck tape the switch down so its not so
easy to do and maby wife will catch him . And A good jolt might do
the job as will .
