Round about the end of August, I'll start stumping for submissions to the"How My Fish Spent Their Summer Vacation" contest. Summer has traditionally been a season of benign neglect where our tanks are concerned, as outdoor activities lure us away from the buckets and test kits.
Some people have found to their surprise that a few months off from our "attentions" does wonders for their fish and plants - others suddenlyrealize that their collections have completely collapsed. So keep an eye on things - but not too close! - and let us know how it works out for you. Write it funny, write it informative, but be sure to write it - or you won't be eligible to WIN A PRIZE!
(There really IS a prize, too - it's not just something lame like "a goldstar from your editor.") Cheers! Your faithful newsletter editor, - Erika
