Are my aquarium updates like my poker entries of 2006 in the sense that nobody wants to read them, yet I keep writing them?

Aquarium update, cause nobody cares:

I did my first 20% water change on my 60 gallon this weekend. I cleaned off the sides (lots of red and brown algae, ick!), replanted some plants (that had become uprooted), and cleaned water. I also did my first partial media change on my Fluval 404 filter. While doing this, I broke the impeller well on the filter ... and didn't realize it until today. I was checking out my tank and noticed the water was unnaturally yellow. Then I realized that the water flow from the filter was close to nothing. So I spent an hour today putting in a placeholder clamp for the impeller well (one of the ends that snapped it into broke off). In any case, the filter is fixed, and now water flow is tremendous (I must have broken this earlier, cause I don't remember the water flow being this strong!).

I had a few fatalities in the community tank last week (I also have two fish on the verge of death), which I attribute to not realizing the filter was broken. I also bought a few more female bettas for the community tank - I now have 6 female bettas (they get along tremendously well) enjoying the tank as well.

I also did a total cleaning of my 20 gallon (which houses 4 partitioned male bettas) this past weekend. Nothing much to say, except that the location of the tank is most unfortunate (its by windows). I also decided to turn off the water filter for that one, because the bettas seemed miserable with all that water flow.

The one thing I learned: the Fluval 404 (which I'm guessing cost about $200) is a remarkably simple system. All it has is a simple motor which forces water in one direction - the rest is just plastic and smart water engineering (the valves would be tricker to make on your own). If I weren't so lazy, I would try building my own.
