Cleaning a Dirty Aquarium - Fish Tank Maintenance

Hello everyone, it’s Pierre and welcome back to the channel! This video shows how I clean one of my tanks while doing an 80% water change. I start by setting up a DIY water polisher made of a gravel vac tube attached to a small pump. I fill the chamber with Poly-Fil batting and submerge it after which I plug it in. Then I use another DIY device made of PVC pipe and a squeeze bulb to drain about 80% of the water. I attach a DIY strainer so fish and shrimp don’t get accidentally sucked up. While the water is draining and the pump is running, I remove algae from the glass with a paint scraper. I also stir up the substrate to allow mulm to be captured by the polisher. I also trim plants and remove dead leaves. I use a toothbrush to remove algae and diatoms from the surfaces of broad leaves. After adding dechlorinator, I refill the tank and replace the floss in the polisher. I leave the polisher running to further clarify the water. Take a look at the before and after shots to see how much cleaner the tank looks after the whole process! As always, thanks for watching and happy fishkeeping!
