I can't see everything being so mad over pellet food, even the fish are acting strange... perhaps she put another unknown substance in as well...

My daughter is 2 and was born on a Friday the 13th...nuff said she is trouble!! hahaha. I usually keep a better eye on her around the tank however I also happen to have the flu so I'm really off today.

I cant definitely understand everything being so mad if the situation is as you described, "rock and bottom are covered in pellets". It can pollute the water surprisingly quickly!

Hope everything turns out ok! And 'get well soon' from the flu!

maxijet on a hose into a filter sock you hold over the tank. gives you as much time as you need to be thorough and siphon all of them out... then do a water change. good luck!

Looks like everyone has provided you with good advice.

This next bit is not to be taken seriously.
Everyone has overlooked the biggest point of all.
Have you considered adoption of the offending kid?

HAHAHAHA!!! The thought had crossed my mind however she's just so damn cute...

Woke up to tank water still being extremely cloudy, not as brown, but I can't see much in there. How many water changes can a person safely do in a 24 period??

Any amount of water change is safer than leaving ammonia in the tank or leaving decaying matter to rot.

If it's so cloudy, you should check your ammonia level and in case of any trace of it, dose your tank with Prime until you clear that off.

Fantastic idea!

I am going to employ this tactic to clean my sump.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.
