Last day, day 6 Saturday is my cleaning day and I really need to clean this bad boy. I might poor the good stuff into a bowl and get some pictures after a bit for tomorrow since I'll be all clean by then.

Day 6
I think Monday morning I will pour my skimmate in a measuring container so we can see the amount collected.
By the way, it smells to high heaven. I rinse my cup out at least twice a week. Pheew!

Got my hands in the tank today to add these...
Again apologize for the camera phone pics. I do practice with my wife's canon today using some of the pic threads and think I may have figured some stuff out but I am a pre-novice with photography. Would upload those but she is taking pictures of our kids, 2 & 4, decorating cookies - my ocd was on overload so had to take a break.
Here it is:
Day six - looks like it got a little bump from me being in there today.
