Spring Cleaning Your Aquarium
Everyone gets the urge to freshen up in the spring. Instead of only cleaning closets, why not spruce up your aquarium too? Start with a good cleaning.
Next trim your live plants and give them a good fertilizing. If you have artificial plants, take them out and scrub them well. Banish any stubborn algae growth by soaking the plants in 10% bleach, then rinse well and air dry before returning them to the tank. Lastly, don't forget the water. Water changes are important any time of the year.

Antibotics?
This forum member started an interesting discussion with the query below. What do you think? Visit the forum to share your thoughts, and read what others had to say.
"Is there no place for antibiotics?
Let's say that you've done all that you could and the LFS has done all that they reasonably can. Healthy fish and healthy water, but somehow a fish is infected. Viral, bacterial, fungus, parasite....... pick something. The fish gets something for some reason. For this hypothetical, doesn't really matter....
What would you do? "
