Mild State of Emergency

My tank last week suffered NTS (New Tank Syndrome) I am pretty experienced with handling goldfish in small tanks but a total bleeping novice to bigger tanks and tropical fish. Alas the tank went cloudy and the fish were gasping on the surface.

Solution? Water changes. Lots of them. So much that Steph is sick of them.

First lot: ooh water and hoses!!!
2nd: this is still cool
3: hrm..
4: god not again!
5: Eva? I thought you said a bigger tank would be easier to manage!

The fish are happy, the tank cleared up in a week and we are now on the downward slope of a nitrite spike. only a week or two more for maturity.
