oh yes we all do this!!

My little nano is a HUGE distraction. I come home from work and start peeking at it, and an hour later, I'm still there and haven't gotten anything done that I need to get done!!

I played in both tanks tonite- did a water change on the 72, fragged a little, cleaned the main pump- all sorts of fiddling
