Weekly Fish Tank Maintenance Tasks
Regular fish tank maintenance is essential in keeping your fish pets happy, healthy, and thriving. To help you keep your aquarium healthy and habitable, here are some weekly fish tank maintenance tasks you should perform:
Trim excess plant growth
Having live plants as aquarium accessories offer several benefits. Aside from providing enough amount of dissolved oxygen for your pets, live plants also serve as hiding areas for your aquatic friends. However, make sure to trim excess plant growth on a weekly basis to avoid foliage that can make the fish tank feel and look cramped. Dead leaves should also be removed on a weekly basis.
Remove algae from fish tank glass and accessories
You can easily remove algae from various surfaces by simply using an algae scraper or an algae magnet.
Clean the front part of the aquarium glass
Using a window cleaner solution, spray some amount on the front part of the aquarium glass and wipe it off with a clean cloth. Make sure that you don’t contaminate the tank water with the window cleaner solution.
