Hi, everyone.

After being sick and then busy for over a month, I finally changed out some
of ¨my aquarium's water (about four cups' worth).  I added the stress
¨reliever/dechlorinator and algae preventer and then I noticed all the junk
in ¨the water.  I bought a simple gravel tube a while ago (stick it in and
it sucks ¨the stuff up by gravity) and I was wondering what was the best
way to use it.

I'm gathering that I put the tube in the aquarium, move it until suction
occurs ¨and because the pail is lower than the aquarium, all the junk
filters out.  ¨I've never done it before, so if anyone has any suggestions,
I'd appreciate it. ¨:)

Later,
Sean

P.S. The fish are doing quite well despite their treatment. :)  My wife and
I ¨are considering purchasing a 10-gallon aquarium to help them have a
happier and ¨more comfortable living space as they've grown a little bit
and seems a little ¨more crowded in there than before.
