Keeping substrate/gravel clean and free of detritus may seem a daunting task, but efficient
filters and
gravel cleaners simplify and speed the process like never before. The Python No Spill Clean N' Fill attaches effortlessly to your faucet to drain, clean, and fill your aquarium. You'll easily change water and wash gravel while minimizing disturbance to fish.
No aquarium cleaning regimen is complete without a sturdy bucket and an assortment of
nets to skim away surface debris and catch fish. If you prefer dry hands and arms during cleaning, invest in a pair of
Heavy Duty Aqua Gloves. Or, use
tongs or
grabber to reach items on the aquarium bottom.
Of course, don't forget to check your filters during each water change, and replace
media according to manufacturer's guidelines.
Stay Prepared for Unexpected Repairs
It's always wise to keep an assortment of parts and tools -
clamps for flexible tubing,
Mr. Sticky's Underwater Glue, and
Teflon® tape - on hand should something unexpectedly leak.
Regular maintenance goes a long way in ensuring a functional, vibrant, and thriving aquarium. Be sure to keep a schedule - the
Aqua Timer is ideal to help you avoid aquarium emergencies no matter how busy your schedule. |
