Nothing goes as planned, does it? I got my package from Fosters and Smith, everything arrived great. I went to the local Walmart and got some lights and a thermometer. I was so excited to get home, and read the directions and set up everything. I am not getting plants for a couple days, so I don't have my Eco Complete in. Well, I run home, and get the thermometer out. I rinse it off and lick the suction, and stuck it in the corner. Stuck was right. Little science lesson: What happens when a glass falls onto harder glass? The 1st glass breaks, right? Well, break it did. The little rocks for the weight came rolling, and there were little glass pieces all over. No liquid came out though. Well, I got the a magnet and picked up the "weights" and my hand did the picking up for the glass. Wonderful. I got my filter all set up then, and ready to go. The extension didn't fit. Thats ok though, so I took off the extension, and put on the hood. Well, tried to at least. The hood didn't fit, because of how thick the filter was. Ugh.... So I got the light off my 20 gallon long, and have a light on it. Now I have no money, because of the thermometer, and the lights for the hood, which won't fit the light from my 20 gallon, and my hood from the twenty gallon needs a light. Wonderful.... After the little weights were picked up, the shreds of glass plucked out of my hand, and the light made ready, my dad said he will by the light. Thank you Dad!!!
Well, that is my adventure for the year.

I have to agree, nothing goes as planned...period. I have broken one of those thermometers. It fell and spilled those weights all over my 10g holding tank. I freaked out 'cause I though that was the mercury. (Duh!) But it all worked out in the end. I learned my lesson and now only use the plastic ones that go on the outside of the tank.
