Fish tanks are a favourite hobby of most people and in addition to fish being one of the most preferred pets, these fish tanks are a great inclusion to your interior home décor as well, making the task of caring and maintaining your fish tank a matter of high importance.
Some people tend to find fish tank maintenance a rather hectic and tedious task while some others make it their blissful hobby. Either way, if you own a fish tank, you have to be dedicated to clean and maintain it so that the fish in the tank remain in good health and the fish tank itself would look attractive. Mrs Alan Mary of
www.fish-tank.co.uk gave his views and shared his paramount knowledge on fish tank cleaning and maintenance. He said that, "cleaning fish tanks are the simplest task. Anyone, from four year-old kids to adults can do it and trust me- it takes barely over ten minutes".
A common cause of early death of fish is the fact that the water that has been replaced is not of a suitable temperature for the fish. Speaking on this point, Mrs Alan Mary advised, "The night before you have planned on cleaning your tank, be it a marine fish tank or a tropical one, ensure that you keep a jug of water overnight so that it has time to adapt to the room temperature." When cleaning the bottom of the fish tank, it is important that you thoroughly wash the pebbles so that the grime on it is washed away. Adding another bit of beneficial advice, Mrs Alan Mary said, "Never use soap and water for cleaning the tank. Regular water would do because the ingredients of the soap may sometimes, have a harmful effect on the fish."
Once your marine or tropical fish tank has been cleaned, you have to make sure that you maintain it well. Mrs Alan Mary of perfectly summarized it in a nutshell by saying, "Don't overcrowd your tank, feed the fish twice a day and make sure that the fish in the tank are compatible. Maintaining fish tanks is never a hefty task".
