How to Clean Sand in a Fish Tank

admin — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 23:09:02 +0000

In this video I demonstrate how I clean the sand in my betta tank. For the most part, my crawfish Logan keeps the sand really clean, but I still need to siphon out some debris from time to time. An advantage of keeping sand in a fish tank over gravel is that debris does not fall in between spaces and cracks. The debris stays on top of the sand which allows for easy access for cleaning, and gives the water filter a better chance of clearing it out. Additionally, using sand can give a fish tank an appealing ‘natural look.’ All I used is a rubber tube, a bucket, and some water. It is recommended that you change at least 10% of the water once a month, even if you don’t see much debris.

How to make a cheap aquarium filter

admin — Sat, 17 Apr 2010 07:37:07 +0000

http://www.oscarfish.co.uk How to make a really cheap aquarium/fish tank filter. Once the filter is made connect the airpipe to the air pump place the filter totally immersed and switcj on the aie pump.The air bubbles will rise in the tube and draw water with them. As this happens water will rush in through the filter down through the holes that you melted in the bottom piece. this causes a flow through the filter.
