Green Tip for the Week

Ethical aquarium - a fish tank can be a soothing mini-ecosystem in your home or office.  Make sure that it's not threatening marine populations: stock it with fish that are certified by the Marine Aquarium Council as non-endangered species.  Please don't buy coral to adorn your tank as it's in serious decline in many areas.
