How to Clean a Dirty Aquarium


Before investing in an aquarium, it's essential to understand how to maintain the tank and care for the fish. Here’s a guide on keeping your aquarium clean and healthy.

Weekly Maintenance Time: 30 Minutes to 1 Hour


Supplies Needed:

1. A clean 5-gallon bucket (never used for chemicals or soap)
2. A hose or gravel cleaner
3. Natural or synthetic sea salt

Step-by-Step Cleaning Guide:


Preparation:

1. Unplug the Heater: Before starting, unplug the heater and wait at least 20 minutes for it to cool. Removing it while hot can cause the glass to crack or shatter. Ensure it's fully unplugged to avoid electric shocks.

2. Remove Decorations: Take out any decorations from the tank. This exposes the gravel, making it easier to clean.

Cleaning the Tank:

- Without a Gravel Cleaner: Stir the gravel manually to loosen dirt and debris, then siphon out water into the bucket. Retain this water for cleaning filters.

- With a Gravel Cleaner: Insert the cleaner into the gravel until it touches the tank's bottom. Start a siphon, moving the cleaner every few seconds until you've either removed 15% of the tank's water or cleaned all the gravel.

Cleaning the Filters:

- Process: Filters need cleaning every 2 to 3 weeks. They host beneficial bacteria essential for breaking down waste. Rinse filter materials and sponges in the dirty tank water (to preserve bacteria), squeeze the sponges a few times, and reassemble the filters before returning them to the tank.

Water Replenishment:

1. Add Sea Salt: For every 50 gallons of water, add approximately 1 cup of sea salt to mimic the fish's natural habitat.

2. Adjust Water Temperature: Ensure the replacement water is within a degree or two of the current tank temperature to prevent shocking the fish. Gradually add it once the temperature matches.

3. Restart Equipment: Once you’ve added the water, restart the filters and heater.

Regular Cleaning Schedule:

- Weekly Water Change: Clean the tank water on the same day each week to maintain consistency and a healthy environment.

By following these steps, you can confidently maintain a clean and healthy environment for your aquatic friends, ensuring their well-being and prolonging the life of your aquarium.
