Tip of the Day – 4/12/2012

Since I’m still at the hospital with my wife and brand new baby girl, I figured today’s AquaNerd Tip of the Day should be somewhat related to the situation. Whenever you are having a baby, it’s a good idea to perform a big water change prior to any trip to the hospital, especially since any trip that’s expected to be temporary could turn into a several day long ordeal. Also, it’s a good idea to have a fresh batch of saltwater already prepared and waiting for you when your new family returns home. When mom and baby are snoozing, and if you have the energy, perform a quick water change and take care of the fish. Of course, make sure to clean your hands thoroughly before playing with your new baby.
