Small aquariums need to be cleaned once a week. If they are designed for 200 liters, then major cleaning is carried out once every ten days. Regardless of the timing, there are general rules that help to carry out competent cleaning.
How to know when it's time to clean your aquarium
However, these are very approximate dates and can vary greatly for each individual tank and filter. Aquarists recommend visually determining the need for cleaning: if the stream of water coming from the filter has noticeably weakened, then it's time to clean it.
How can I wash the aquarium inside
We take baking soda, a kitchen sponge for washing dishes and carefully, but gently wash the aquarium. Well, after that you should wash everything off several times. If the aquarium allows, then carefully turn it on its side and use a shower sprayer to wash everything off.
How to remove plaque on aquarium glass
Just soak a piece of gauze or towel in a solution of citric acid or vinegar and clean the aquarium of limescale. It is better to heat the solution - then the dissolution will occur faster. You don't need to rub hard. If necessary, moisten the plaque with an acid solution several times.
How to remove dirt from the bottom of an aquarium
To clean the bottom, it is best to use a siphon. Especially when it comes to large aquariums. If you do not have a siphon, you can use a hose and a watering can or a plastic bottle with a cut off bottom. If you clean the soil without a siphon, you can simply rinse it under running water.
