If there is white alkali in the fish tank, the most common cleaning method is manual cleaning. There are a lot of cleaning tools you can choose, generally use a scraping knife, so it is not easy to hurt the glass, you can also use a box cutter or a steel ball, if not, you can use coins. It should be noted that do not scrape too hard to avoid scratches on the glass. In addition, if it is acrylic fish tank, it is not recommended to use a knife to deal with.
Chemistry has learned that acid-base neutralization, in this way can also eliminate the white alkali in the jar. The source of acid is also very convenient, using vinegar at home, and citric acid can also be used to wash. To neutralize the water with acid and Alkali, fish must be fished out in advance, so as not to affect their health after the change of Ph, it is best to clean up when turning over the tank.
The source of white alkali is nothing else, it is the water we add to the fish tank, because the water is usually tap water, the hardness is relatively high, so a long time there will be scale white alkali and other substances. If the soft water source is replaced, it can also prevent the formation of white alkali, of course, it can also treat the water body before changing the water, and find ways to reduce its hardness.
Some tool fish can also play the role of removing white alkali, such as scavengers, moss rats, etc., but generally only effective when the water alkali is still very thin, a thick can not be gnawed off.
