I like raising fish very much, but cleaning the fish tank is really troublesome. Do you have any suggestions?

Generally speaking, fish tanks need to be thoroughly cleaned once a month. Cleaning the fish tank can keep the fish tank clean and avoid the growth of bacteria. Although regular cleaning can make the water tank look cleaner, too frequent cleaning will lead to the disappearance of beneficial bacteria in the water tank. For example, nitrifying bacteria mainly decompose ammonia nitrogen in fish tanks. They like to stick to the solids, walls and bottom of fish tanks. If the cleaning frequency is too high, nitrifying bacteria will also decrease or disappear, destroying the ecosystem in the water tank.

If you raise fish at home, fish scales will appear in the fish tank after a while. Does it give you a headache? Moreover, every cleaning is time-consuming and laborious, and it is very hard. So is there any simple trick to remove scale? Brown algae will appear in some aquariums, although it will disappear after a week or two. But what do we usually do with these brown algae? We can put the bearded fish in the water tank. They will cling to the wall steel and eat brown algae. You can also reduce the feeding into the fish tank and disappear after a while.

There will also be traces of scale on the water tank. It's hard to eliminate. In fact, we can use toothpaste in our life. Dip a little toothpaste and gently wipe it on the scale. But this method can't cure the problem. Scale is produced because the hardness of water is too high, so we can reduce the hardness of water. We can put the water-softened resin into the filter tank. Or tap water and purified water are mixed in proportion. These methods can reduce the hardness.

We can also neutralize it chemically. Scale is an alkaline substance. We can neutralize it with acid. Take a certain amount of citric acid, dilute it with water, and gently wipe it on the scale with a cotton swab. It neutralizes after a few applications. Baking soda can also remove the scale in daily life. But you can't just pour baking soda into the fish tank. First, fish out all the fish in the fish tank and empty the contents. Then soak in water and soda water for about half an hour. After repeatedly wiping the scale with water and soda water, brush it off with steel balls.

When the water tank is used for a long time, some dirt or moss will appear on the wall. Generally, we use steel balls to brush hard, but too hard, steel balls will destroy the beauty of the fish tank. It takes time. We can use a magnetic scraper to remove moss, go to a physical store or online, and prepare at home. Here are some tips to remove the dirt from fish tanks.
