- shocked -

I woke up from my sleep today at around noon and went to change the turtle tank water. Little did I know, the moment I touch the filter, I was electric-shocked! Upon investigation I found out that part of the submerged wire of the filter pump was exposed, most probably due to the itchy mouth of that big turtle. Can't imagine how long the turtles were shocked in the water. No wonder they look extra lethargic today~ LOL.

Went around some places to find a good overhead filter, first shop I went to happened to be closed, so I went to the pet shop area in serangoon north. First recommendation by the fish shop owner was a $138 overhead filter. O_O! So expensive! That's way over my budget~! Then approached another shop which recommended a $90 overhead filter. No way, still way too expensive. So I guess I settled down for a submerged filter instead. $28. Bought another bottle of fish tank bacteria which cost another $28! This time really bankrupt..... :(

Surprisingly, the submerge filter pump water could be redirected to my previous filtering box, which was rather good, it means now my fish tank has double filters! :D Not bad for a cheap pump ya?
