I'm quite stubborn when I put my mind to something, and I know I came across as quite defensive, and I was, sorry, it's just I can't afford vets right now, in the future I will be as I'm going to put a pot aside his tank and fill it every now and then for a vet bill if it were to come along in the future. Thanks for your input though, again, sorry if I seemed to be getting rude!

Never rude, we all love our animals and we all love the safety of these animals, as long as they're safe that's all that matters, I hope you don't see the issue return!
