Fish Tank Cleaner
how to keep a 10 gallon fish tank clean?
i got a 10 gallon fish with just one Oscar in it and every 3 days my son has to clean it out i got a bottle of the clear stuff you put in the tank after its cleaned out but 3 days later he’s having to clean it again so if anyone can help solve my problem i would appreciate it very much and again i want to thank everybody for their answers
There are many reasons that may be leading to your tank’s cloudy water. Novice aquarists make a few mistakes when initially setting up their tank. The first two are properly cleaning the tank and cleaning the gravel.
How long has your tank been set up? When your son cleans the tank, does he only remove 20% of the water?
To clean the tank, first off you need a scraper or a sponge. This is to clean the inside glass. You will be surprised how much stuff gets stuck to it even when it looks clear.
A gravel syphon then can be used to remove all the debris from the bottom of the tank and gravel, up to your 20%.
Prior to adding your new water to the tank add your dechlor. If you are using tablets, get rid of them and get a good liquid dechlor like AquaNova +. Add aquarium salt. Now you can return this water to the tank. Be sure also, filters are either washed clean or changed. (you may also want to clean the filter itself.
Also, be sure the filter can handle the 10 gallon tank. sometimes filters for a specific size tank are not powerfull enough to handle waste from certain types of fish. I would recomend going up to a 20 gallon filter on your 10 gallon.
Also, be sure to check your water quality with a test kit or by taking it to the pet store.
Good luck
