The fish tank should be thoroughly cleaned once a month.Although cleaning the fish tank can make the fish tank look cleaner, it also has some disadvantages.Because the beneficial bacteria in the fish tank will be eliminated, especially nitrifying bacteria, which mainly adhere to the solid, tank walls and tank bottom will exist, after cleaning will be eliminated, which will have a certain impact on the health of fish.
1. Fishing the fish and releasing the water: Before cleaning the fish tank, first fish out all the fish in the fish tank and put them in plastic bags or other containers for temporary keeping. Then drain the water from the tank and completely empty the fish tank, so as to facilitate cleaning.
2. Clean the fish tank: Use a rag to wipe the inner wall of the fish tank, mainly the places where algae or scale is attached. If the algae has been attached for a long time and has been adhered to the surface, you need to use an algae scraper to scrape it off.
3. Equipment cleaning: In addition to the fish tank, the filtering equipment and the stone bottom sand inside need to be cleaned. However, do not wash the filter material. It is enough to wash the filter screen. If the filter screen is too thin, it needs to be replaced.
4. Water injection and fish release: Re-inject the new water that has been dried and some old water that was discharged before into the tank, and then put the fish back into the tank for a period of rest.
