A whole different line of germs. Now you get what's going around the other elementary schools.

So a while back I was asked what type of sand I use. This stuff is super fine l. Like sugar but not as coarse. 10$ for 10lbs and 16.99 for a 20lbs bag. Petco.

Ever felt so bad with a sudden onset of strep you almost couldn't drive yourself?

Yep I worked through strep. I was so tired and hardly move. It sucked. Hope you feel better real soon

Sorry this is terrible. I haven’t had strep since a kid. I remember it being the worst I have ever felt. Get better

Lucky. I service nursing homes , day cares, schools and assisted living places. My first few years on the job I was always sick. Now hardly get sick.

I rarely let anything get me down, but I think Middle School germs are meaner. Lol

@Hemmdog I think it was you. I added 30 lbs more to the tank. Most had been removed from trying to clean the sand bed. Now I use a turkey baster. So I should loose less sand.

I had to pull about three gallons out. I think its 10 lbs of sand equals 1 gallon of water displacement.

1g=12.76lbs of sand according to my chart

Great, y'all got fish, and I got strep!

Boo! I remember getting strep and bronchitis a lot as a kid. Amazing that it stopped when my dad stopped smoking.
Get well soon!
