Re: dead fish
nah don't, vary simple, i try not to think to hard thats how i came up with it haha. thats kinda what i have to do with my tank its a 75 gal but i have to trim up my plants so the water is most of the way up my arms haha it gets a little wild, wait till you have to clean the gravel up. i stir mine around to get the poop in the air to get sucked in to the filter then i clean the filter out real good. if you have any squestions just ask away no one will make fun of you or they get in trouble by the mods

Re: dead fish
Well I use a ladder and a long tube to clean the gravel in my 150. I always have plants floating around because my Oscar pulls them up, but I can't reach the bottom with water in the tank. I have to reach from a ladder and stick my head in the tank to reach the bottom. Kind of a funny sight. I guess I could hold my breath and........maybe not.
