cleaning

How do you clean a tank?

 

[dogstar]

Do you mean a used one thats sat and dryed out or one that established ??

 

[chance]

No,I mean when there is water and fish in it.

 

[dogstar]

What is happening that makes you think it needs cleaning ??
like stuff growing on the glass or
stuff growing on the sand or
cleaning the water
or the outside needs cleaning
????

I dont have a tank yet but i was wondering how to clean one.

lmao, maybe get scrub/small metal plate and scrub off what u want to clean, as for cleaning ALL of it, you don't, just do a water change, if youre talking about the windows just clean them with windex or something. use gloves if you got anything poisenous..

 

[chance]

how often do you want to do water changes when something gets to high or every week?

 

[royal gang]

umm it's recommended every 2 weeks but i will only do it when ammonia/trites/trates get high LOL!

DROP THE WINDEX!
if you are plannin on telling someone to clean their glass with windex that ist the best idea.
the glass may be permiable nd the windex may gt into the water and maybe kill tank,
it may be a litle far feched but you can never be 2 cautios its a 1-200 dollar mistake!

i don't know about this. if you spray the windex on the glass, some could get into the tank, which would be bad. but as far as going through the glass...
