Obligatory for each fish keeper
Weekly aquarium maintenance
Tanks are closed systems in which our animals and plants live. If we care about their health, we must remember about maintenance.
Remember not to overfeed the fish. More food equals more water changes.
The absolute maintenance minimum is
- feed the fish
- change the water
- check that the aquarium equipment
During maintenance I check the plants and cutting out what I don't like. I trim anything that I think might look better. Everything what is in good condition can be replanted.
Cleaning of the glass should always take place, even if you can't see anything there.
Removing water should be the last maintenance step. When sucking out the water, I try to move the bottom to get rid of as many particles as possible.
How much water should be changed depends on nitrates level. Nitrates are resulting from the ammonia degradation. I change between 10% and 20% of water per week. But in my case most of the organic compounds are used in hydroponics.
The aquarium water is used for watering the flowers.
The whole cycle takes round one hour per week.
