" When spring arrives an old fish keeper's thoughts turn to 'flushing out his filters'. Let's face it, there is little point in splashing the cash on a German precision engineered cylinder filter and then letting it block up with dead bacteria and non specific grunge. That's why, each year, I undertake an Easter filter wash along with my usual weekly partial water change. After all, it's what Lord Jesus would have wanted, and he was no stranger to fishes!
I know some of you out there in 'fishkeeping land' are interested to see how the lotus plant is doing. Well very nicely as it happens - see the big green heart shaped leaves in the picture above. A word of warning to the wise, the lotus can take over a tank if you let it and I strongly recommend regular 'husbandry' and choosing the slower growing variegated varieties, particularly if you have a tiny tank. It's not the size of your tank that matters but what you do with it that counts" - Syd Carp
