Hygiene is essential in the care of any pet we lived, and an aquarium even more given the sensitivity of these animals so special. Therefore, to maintain a clean aquarium, there must be a number of tools needed for this task:
And changing water filters, they can be a bit expensive but are highly necessary to maintain the aquarium water clean, and remember that the water withdrew from the tank can be a good fertilizer for plants after
Sponges / glass cleaners, sponges are specially designed for cleaning aquariums, as they have an equal share to the rest of the sponges, but with another special rub and remove any residue from the walls without scratching the glass. Do not use sponges that we usually use at home as these scratch, but also leave a residue inside the aquarium that can be harmful to our fish.
Very important is to not use soap or other cleaning solution into the sponge, nor use the sponge if it was used to clean something else, as much as the Rinse residues which are more lethal than anything else to fish.
Brushes for cleaning tubes, there are different types of specialized stores, although in this case if they are very practical classic toothbrushes (unused of course). They're the best clean the algae that usually grow inside the tubes that filter the water.
Buckets are needed to remove water from the tank, and like the rest of the implements to ensure that their use is exclusively for cleaning the aquarium to avoid contaminating it with other substances. Moreover, the larger the bucket we spend more time working that will save us.
Cleaning solutions, as I repeat, it is extremely important to remember that you should not use any household cleaner, one of the best cleansers for the aquarium salt is not fortified with iodine, it acts as an abrasive, but this only is necessary to use the first time, when you install the tank and then sterilize.
