How do you clean a fish tank?

- Bucket

- Siphon hose or gravel vacuum

- Scrubber

- Paper towels

- Non-toxic tank cleaner

- Water conditioner

Step 2: Remove about 30-50% of the water from the aquarium.

- Use the bucket or a hose to do this.

- Leave the fish and plants in the tank.

- Set aside half of this water for your new tank water.

Step 3: Vacuum the gravel.

- Use the siphon hose or gravel vacuum to remove dirt and debris from the gravel.

- Move the hose or vacuum over the gravel in a slow, sweeping motion to suck up debris without disturbing the fish.

Step 4: Clean the decorations and the sides of the tank.

- Use the scrubber and the tank cleaner to remove algae and grime from the decorations, rocks, and sides of the tank.

Step 5: Replace the water.

- Use a water conditioner to remove harmful substances from the tap water.

- Fill the tank with the set aside tank water and the treated tap water.

- Fill the tank to just below the rim.

Step 6: Turn on the filter and heater.

- Make sure the filter and heater are working properly before returning the fish to the tank.

Step 7: Return the fish to the tank.

- If you use a net, make sure it is clean and doesn’t have any holes that could injure the fish.

- Release the fish back into the tank slowly and gently.

Step 8: Observe the tank.

- Make sure the fish are swimming normally and are not showing any signs of stress.

Tip: Clean your fish tank on a regular basis to keep it clean and your fish healthy. Fish can get stressed out when their environment is dirty, and high stress can lead to fish diseases.
