Do you guys have separate hose for different tanks?
I use a common hose to drain water in my tanks.
But 4 days ago I've had a problem with one of my tanks, 3 of my clown loaches suddenly died. I think its bacterial , my clown loaches were covered in slime when they died. I have since treated the tank with antibiotics.
would it be safe to use the hose on my other tanks? How do i go about disinfecting the hose?


other clown loaches seem to be doing well, though the pleco still looks sick.
 
diluted bleach and water will sterilize pretty well, but can never be too cautious.
