Okay, I had the airpump off whilst the French were in my room, it sounds like a tractor. I turned it on, no bubbles through the airwand. Switched it off. Return to room.

WATER ALL OVER THE FLOOR!

WATER ALL OVER THE ELECTRIC SOCKETS!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Oh No!! There's little adapter you can buy and attached to the hose that won't allow the water to back up into he pump. I'm sorry, I can't remember what it's called.....besides being a little late.

Love your ram. They're such gorgeous little fish and full of personality.
Mine didn't last long but I hope to try again.

Thanks, I'll look out for them, I think they're called check valves or non-return valves or something. Thanks for pointing that out, I'll have a hunt around for one.

The little ram has been doing, okay, shall we say. He's been getting terrible stress lines and I feel so bad for not being able to do anything. At least he's eating and swimming

And what happened to your drip line?

You don't want to see my electrics. I have two sockets in my bedroom. These power three tanks. I have two three way sockets, with extensions running off all of them. But an electrician did it for me LOL! Basically all my electrics are under a drawer, where I keep my air pump. So alllll the water ended up under there, leaking out underneath.

I have an extension off extension on all of my tank...with the 15 gallons electrics wired into two plugs for the four appliences. Shameful, I know.
