Today, I was getting my gear ready for a water change, and I just froze - I had no idea what to do next. I sat there, holding the gravel vac and tube, trying to think it through.

It's pretty embarrassing to admit, but I've had to learn this stuff all over again. I originally picked it up from a library book and some YouTube videos, but now it's all fuzzy. I'm not looking for someone to hold my hand through the process, I just need a solid resource to refer to. Does anyone know of a good online guide or a YouTube video that covers the basics?

I'd really appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction. And if you've got any words of encouragement for a beginner-again like me, that'd be great too.

Thanks for taking the time to read this and for your help.
