Cleaning the Aquarium

There is a lot of work involved in keeping an aquarium looking nice, and you have to maintain it on a regular basis say about two or three times a week to keep it clean.

You will need a net and wall scrubber or a brush to clean the tank. The net has a long handle and it will help to keep the tank clean of fish waste. The tank scrubber also with a long handle or a brush can be used to clean the walls. When cleaning near the bottom, be careful not to drag up sand or gravel that can scratch the glass.

Change water every week or two to remove chemicals that have built up. Never empty the aquarium completely when changing the water. Change 10 to 25 percent of the water at a time.

You will have many enjoyable days and nights watching the fish swimming about in the aquarium water.
