Read MoreA clean aquarium is more than just visually appealing; it's vital for the well-being of your aquatic life. Without regular cleaning, debris, uneaten food, and fish waste accumulate, leading to poor water quality and potentially harming your fish and plants.
Fish are sensitive to changes in their environment. Waste products release harmful toxins into the water, which can stress your fish and make them more susceptible to diseases. Regular cleaning removes these toxins and maintains a healthy habitat.
Consistent water quality is essential for a thriving aquarium. Parameters like pH, hardness, and salinity can fluctuate due to accumulating waste. Routine cleaning helps keep these parameters balanced and safe for your fish and plants.
If you have a planted tank, regular cleaning prevents algae overgrowth and ensures your aquatic plants receive the nutrients they need to flourish.
Let's be honest, a dirty tank with algae and cloudy water isn't enjoyable to look at. Regular cleaning keeps your aquarium looking its best, so you can fully enjoy its beauty.
The cleaning frequency depends on factors like tank size, the number of fish, filtration, and whether it's freshwater or saltwater. Here are some general guidelines:
Both freshwater and saltwater tanks need basic weekly care. This includes checking water parameters, removing uneaten food, and cleaning the glass to prevent algae buildup. For planted tanks, trim plants and remove dead leaves regularly.
Freshwater tanks typically need a 10-20% water change every one to two weeks. Saltwater tanks may require weekly water changes, especially with sensitive corals or invertebrates.
Monthly deep cleaning involves vacuuming the substrate, cleaning filter media, and scrubbing decorations. Saltwater tanks may also require checking protein skimmers and salinity levels.
At Splashy Fish, we can help you create a customized cleaning schedule that meets the specific needs of your aquarium.

While the basic cleaning principles are similar, there are key differences between freshwater and saltwater aquariums:
Saltwater tanks require more careful monitoring of salinity, calcium, magnesium, and other trace elements to maintain a stable environment, especially for sensitive corals and invertebrates.
Algae can be more challenging to control in saltwater tanks, often requiring specialized equipment like protein skimmers.
Saltwater tanks often utilize more complex filtration systems with components like protein skimmers and refugiums.
Saltwater aquariums generally need more frequent water changes and require specific salt mixes to maintain proper salinity.
