A tank of freshwater fish, about 30 minutes to one hour per week, depending on the size of the tank.
What you need:
1) You need a cleaning of the tank 5 gallons, which never chemicals or soap in it.
2) A hose or clean gravel
3) A bag of natural or synthetic Seesalz
I have to work in two parts, the tank must be cleaned ever weeks on the same day and the filters cleaned every 2 or 3 weeks.
The first step before starting the cleaning of your aquarium is your heater tank, if you have one. The heater must not be allowed to be out of the water until it is hot so be sure to separate for at least 20 minutes before you try to remove them. The water to cool the glass in the heater could be withdrawn in May when the glass crack or completely destroyed. You should also remember to never stick your hand in the aquarium to ensure that the device is not isolated, but only on the outside of the wall. A small crack in the water heaters can be more than sufficient to provide a shock to you, which can be fatal.
After the boiler had time to cool, you can use the device for heating the chamber, or heating water can be on the floor of the tank.
Now take all images that you created in the tank when all I have are small gravel on the ground, that you all the dirt that the decorations May to hide. Well, if you do not have a gravel cleaner, which places it in a sleeve and control wet. You need the gravel to remove debris, was among the gravel in the water to remove the water in the bucket with the hose. Non-empty, the water filters to clean.
If you have a gravel, press plastic hose into the sand until the bottom of the bowl, and then start a siphon in the tank, every second or 2 to the gravel of their own or through a 2 inch, and repeat this process until you made 15 percent of the water tank is cleaned, the entire gravel.
Now, at this point, you can clean the filters for aquariums. The filters are used internally to facilitate the growth of bacteria to decompose the nitrates and nitrites, in water from fish waste and uneaten food. To ensure that you do not kill bacteria aquarium, cleaning the filter materials and sponges in the water is dirty, that I filled with bacteria. All filters and wash them in the bucket with saltwater aquarium to give the sponge a couple on the bucket and return to the filters and back into the tank.
Now, before you Seesalz should be included in the container. All water has a certain amount of salt they reproduce and the natural habitat of fish, the salt in container. Approximately 1 cup of salt per 50 liters of water.
Now you can with water in the tank, but make sure that the water in one or two degrees, the temperature of the water in the tank. A radical change in the temperature of the tank can suddenly throw fish in the state of shock and kill or weaken their immunity and the establishment of fish diseases. I recommend to fill the bucket with warm water and checking on a regular basis until they are in accordance with the temperature of the bath, then slowly the water in the tank, filter and heater start.
Filters should be cleaned once or twice a month, but the water in the tank to clean the same day each week.
