Secret to Keeping a CRYSTAL CLEAR Fish Tank… NEVER CLEAN IT!

By 1 Comment

Secret to Keeping a CRYSTAL CLEAR Fish Tank…
NEVER CLEAN IT!

 

Yup, you heard me right…If you want to keep a healthy, clean, fish tank, DO NOT EVER CLEAN IT COMPLETELY! Why you ask? Let me explain…

When you start a fish tank, it is unestablished…YOU DO NOT have any beneficial bacteria in your water to eat the ammonia the fish produce when they go to the bathroom. That is why when you start a fish tank, YOU NEVER want to overload it with fish right away…You only add two or three for the first few weeks, depending on the size of your tank to get the beneficial bacteria built in your tank. If you completely stock your tank right away, within a short time the water will fill with ammonia, get cloudy, and your fish will die off FAST. (Imagine swimming in straight ammonia)

If you add fish to your tank slowly, it gives the beneficial bacteria time to build on the rocks in your tank, and the more and more it builds, the more and more it will eat the ammonia waste of the fish, keeping your water CRYSTAL CLEAR!

Which brings me to cleaning your Fish Tank. SO MANY people make the mistake of cleaning the plants, the rocks, and draining their tank all the way or even half of the way to clean there tank. NEVER EVER do this…You will get rid of all that GOOD BACTERIA that eats the bad!

ALL YOU have to do is get a tank siphon, clean noticeable debris with your siphon once every two weeks ONLY taking the tank down 10 percent with the water and then top it off with fresh water! YOU CAN GO YEARS having a crystal clear fish tank by doing ONLY THIS on a regular basis! Of course you still need to change your filter cartridge as suggested for your filter. In between changes, washing it off helps also.

If right now you have a VERY DIRTY tank… Clean it, BUT DO NOT clean the rocks off, you will lose all that beneficial bacteria. It would also be a good idea in this situation NOT to change the filter out if you are going to start all over. This will leave beneficial bacteria in the rocks and in the filter to give your tank a “Kick Start.”

Did you know?

A few weeks ago, my 2 year old daughter got into my coupon tote,  and DUMPED ALL MY INSERTS OUT, all over the kitchen floor!!!  I was DEVASTATED!!!
I file them as soon as I get them so I know when they’re from , and use post it notes on the dividers, with the date on them…

I was POSITIVE I would NEVER be able to sort them all out and get them back in the right order….. Well, as I was sitting on the floor with Inserts all around me, I picked one up and noticed, in tiny writing on the crease, or “binding”, that there was a DATE!!!

So I looked at all of them, SmartSource, P&G, and RP, and sure enough, they all have it!!!

(pictured above, one each of RP, SS, and P&G, with the date circled in red)

I went from devastated to ecstatic in seconds!!! Other than the 2 inserts that actually flew all over, the rest took SECONDS to pick up and put back in the right place!!!

Now for those of you that already knew this, LOL YOU ARE QUICKER THAN ME!! But for those of you that didn’t,  don’t feel bad… I have been couponing for a YEAR and just found out!! I am sharing this so that everyone knows what to do in the case of the 2 year old Destroyer VS Your Coupon Inserts 🙂




Phone Scam: MANY are falling for this!

By 2 Comments

One Stop E-Solutions

Update from November 13th, 2013 The Phone call I just got now was from an “Unknown Number”

Number on Caller Id: New York Call – 1-888-458-9001

This is a SCAM, but because of what they do people are falling for it! PLEASE pass this information on and lets stop them!

When they call they have your name and make you believe they are calling from your computer provider or Microsoft Windows tech support and that there have been reported problems with windows software and just want you to check your computer. They will then give you a run prompt command to do on your computer to check. OF COURSE it is going to pull up this warning, it is part of the windows system! WHEN this warning pops up…WHICH MIND YOU it is just a picture of the warning… but not many people realize this, they say OMG close it quick! Here is what we need to do to get rid of it…and they try and sell you a “software program.”

I did listen to his whole call…I knew it was a scam from my husband warning me about it awhile back…but being in telemarketing in the past, I was curious as to how they were tricking so many people! THEY ARE GOOD! Needless to say he was not real happy with me when I called him out and got VERY disrespectful with me.

DO NOT FALL FOR THIS!

Luden’s Throat Drops & Supplement Drop Review

By Leave a Comment

Luden’s Throat Drops

When I was asked to do a Luden’s Throat Drop Review, I have to admit, it got a little emotional for me. Yes emotional. Reason being it brought back many childhood memories, WONDERFUL memories of my Grandmother. Let me explain…

Who remembers this box?

My grandmother at ALL TIMES carried a box of Luden’s Wild Cherry “Cough Drops” in her purse. ESPECIALLY on Sundays when we went to church. Through out the service my sister and I would dig through Grandmas purse grabbing one of these delicious little gems. To this day, whenever I see the Luden’s brand or even smell cherry, it reminds me of my Grandma.

Ok, Back to my review!

I have to admit, Until I was contacted to do a review on this product, I honestly have not had any Luden’s products since I was given them by my Grandmother. Imagine my surprise when I got a box with three different flavors. Orange Supplement Drops made with REAL Orange Juice, Wild Berry Assorted Flavors, and Sugar Free Wild Cherry. Of course I have to try the Wild Cherry first…

With it being Sugar Free, I did not expect it to taste the same as the “GOOD OLD DAYS”, but it really did! That amazing Wild Cherry goodness, No “Non Sugar” taste at all. (You know that taste I mean that some sugar-free products have) For fun I even had my son and husband try both the Wild Cherry Sugar Free & The Wild Berry and tell me which one was sugar-free…AND NEITHER ONE OF THEM COULD TELL!

I especially like the Wild Berry. The dark purple…YUMMY! I know they say to let it slowly dissolve in your mouth, but it took all I had not to bite into this one!


Mmmmm…I have saved the best for last! The NEW Ludens Orange Supplement Drops made with REAL ORANGE JUICE! AMAZING! Even better than the flavor is the fact you get 100% Daily Value of Vitamin C. My son thinks they taste like Orange Popsicles and though I can not get him to remember to take his vitamins, he has no problem remembering to grab a few of these each day! These are TRULY A MUST TRY!

Right now Luden’s is having a LaLa Luden’s Jingle Contest. Enter before June 29th on their website HERE. Click on the LaLa Luden’s banner at the top of the page. You can also print a $1/2 Ludens Coupon HERE.
