Later, when I have time, I'll run the text through a translator because the highly inaccurate translations are always good for a a laugh.

Awesome. Thank you. This will make the auto-translator version that much funnier.:)

Hey sea monkey geek - you commented on my blog quite awhile ago when we had just acquired some comet goldfish and you offered some "unsolicited advice" which I enjoyed reading.

I'm wondering if you have more? go and read and help if you can, please!

thanks for the suggestion on the milk mess -

before this happened we had a brownish tinge to the water that we just can't seem to get rid of - any ideas?

You mentioned on my blog that you have a brown tinge. Most likely algae.
Make sure you clean the algae from the glass using a special sponge from your aquarium supply shop.
To cut back on the algae in the water cut back on light that the tank gets. There are cheap timers that are great for this. If your tank gets a lot of natural light (NO direct light I hope) you might consider moving it, or pulling the blinds for parts of the day.
Light = algae.

Of course using a good filter and not over feeding will reduce the algae as well.
And you might consider some live plants. Anacharis is a cheap option and is available at most aquarium shops.

Good luck. :)
