Dirty (clogged) filters
operate at reduced efficiency. In the case of biological
filtration, a clogged filter will be unable to remove ammonia
properly, resulting in fish stress and eventually death.
Floss-based biological
filters are cleaned by gently rinsing them in used tank water that
has been siphoned into a bucket.
Undergravel filters are
cleaned through regular vacuuming.
Properly treat all tap
water before adding it to your tank. Our water contains such added
chemicals as chlorine or chloramine to make it safe for human
consumption. These substances are toxic to fish and can weaken,
damage or even kill fish.
