Routine Maintenance View larger ( https://images-na.ssl-images-.com/images/I/51eSkmmzn5L.jpg ) Routine Maintenance ------------------- The display aquarium you have created is a living environment that will change and develop over a period of time. To keep it looking good, it is vital to carry out routine maintenance. All the living organisms in the aquarium produce waste. If this is allowed to build up, the biological cycles will become overloaded and the display will disintegrate. Most of the daily tasks take only a few minutes. Check the water temperature. Check and empty the protein skimmer. Check for missing fish. Check that the internal filter is working properly. Feed the fish, making sure that they all receive some. Check that the lights are working. Remove any uneaten food. Check salinity using a hydrometer. Every 7-14 days Test the water for pH, ammonia, nitrite and nitrate levels. Clean the front and side glass of the aquarium to prevent a buildup of algae. Make a 15% water change and refill the aquarium with conditioned water at the same temperature. Every 4-6 weeks Clean the internal filter, including the impeller and casing. Clean the filter foam in tank water. Replace expendable filter media, such as filter wool.
