There are many ways to clean the scale in the fish tank. You can use a paper towel with a little toothpaste to smear it on the location of the scale and wipe it off. You can also keep some fish that can clean up the dirt, such as scavengers, bearded young fish, etc., which can be eaten. In addition, most of the scale is alkaline, so you can take the way of acid-base neutralization to remove scale, with citric acid and water after blending, with white cotton stained with smear on it.
1. Choose the water source: The reason for the formation of scale is that the water used in the fish tank is generally tap water, which contains some minerals. These are the main substances that form scale. Therefore, if you choose soft water from a safe source, it will greatly reduce the forming of scale and keep the fish tank clean.
2. Heating treatment: As mentioned above, the main components of scale are some ions in water. If you want to remove them, you can use the method of heating water. It should be noted that although the hardness of heated water will be reduced, the oxygen content will also be reduced, so it needs to be supplemented with an oxygenator.
3. Soft water resin: If you do not want to use heated water, you can only put soft water resin in the water. This is a substance that can reduce the hardness of the water body. The principle is to adsorb trace element ions in the water. However, it has a certain life span. Once it is saturated, it will start to release. Therefore, it must be cleaned or replaced after being used for a period of time.
