Will I be right in guessing that you are looking for advice on how to clean out a fish tank? It is best to wait for a considerable while before cleaning out your fish tank. Failure to do this could upset the delicate chemical balance of the water and do untold damage to the fish.
When it's time to clean out your fish tank, make sure you don’t use your bare hands. Instead use algae pads/scrapers to clean the aquarium. There will be no detergents found on algae scrapers or pads. Sound strange... this is actually good. The rocks, plants, decorations and rocks will all need to be cleaned. Scrubbing every item completely will assure you that it is clean.
Clean the gravel after the algae has been cleared. Clean the base gravel with siphons. Once this is done, clean out the hood, outside glass, lights, and tank tops etc. The filter should be the last thing to be cleaned. This is because good bacteria will still be inside the filter and that is a requirement to maintain the balance of the tan ecosystem. Cleaning the filter at the end will give the tank time to rebalance.
Lots of people clean out a fish tank the wrong way, and this results in the unnecessary death of fish when they clean the tank for the first time. Now you know better, so this should not happen to you. Clean your tank on a regular basis. Rub the glass once in a week, clean the gravel every time you change the water, and clean the rocks and plants from algae. The end result will be happy, healthy fish and a gorgeous aquarium.
