To clean your fish tank effectively, you should follow these steps:
-
Turn off all electrical equipment in the tank.
-
Remove your fish and any decorations from the tank and place them in a separate container with some of the tank water.
-
Drain a portion of the tank water into a bucket.
-
Use an algae scrubber or sponge to clean the inside of the glass or acrylic tank walls.
-
Use a gravel vacuum to remove debris and waste from the substrate.
-
Clean any decorations with a soft brush or sponge.
-
Replace the portion of water you removed with fresh, dechlorinated water that has been brought to the same temperature as the tank.
-
Reintroduce your fish and decorations back into the tank.
It is recommended to perform regular partial water changes and cleanings to maintain a healthy environment for your fish.
