Clean | Tropical Fish Tanks Blog: All About Tropical Fish Tanks

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.
