Lets admit it. We all have to do it, but it may not be the most enjoyable thing... How do you guys pass the time while you do water changes?
 
thats when I check the filters and other equipment ect... make sure the fish are all clean/healthy and otherwise tidy up my fish crap lol.... but when I'm syphoning I set the hose to how low I want it.. and walk away knowing I won't have fish flopping all over from overdoing it... my husband flooded the pool once already because he forgot about it... so I tend to stay in the room w/ the fishtanks during filling... since its the basement its also laundry time ect bleh!...
 
I time everything by the length of smoking a cigarette. Or 2.
 
lol, these are some good ideas guys, does anyone ever mess with there fish during water changes. I do but then my clownfish bite me :(
 
I do a head count on my african tank, I had 13 or 14 peacocks but slowly enough so that I didn't notice, they began to disappear lol. Now I have five :irked:
