Regular care is indispensable for a healthy aquarium, since otherwise an ecological imbalance that can harm animals and plant can quickly occur. There are different possibilities for keeping the aquarium water clean: They start with a water analysis, regular elimination of coarse contaminants, a complete water change, and extend to use of the right aquarium technology (including filters and UVC clarifiers).
Beautiful aquarium plants make each aquarium a real feast for the eyes. Through professional literature and good advice in the pet shop, you learn which types and cultivated breeds are suitable for your aquarium and get along well with each other and with your animal charges. However, aquarium plants also require regular care. In this regard purchase of appropriate care tools, such as plant scissors and plant tweezers are recommended.

You should clean the aquarium at regular intervals for the benefit of your fish and plants. Here the important thing is not just cleaning the filter medium of your internal and external filter on a regular basis, but rather to also execute a weekly partial water change. Moreover the glass of the aquarium tank must be cleaned and the bottom must occasionally be suctioned free of contamination (algae, dead plant remnants, fish food remnants, etc.) with the aid of suitable aquarium accessories.
An unpleasant task for many aquarium owners is often the filter cleaning – in addition to changing the water, this is one of the most important and most frequent obligations. Cleaning‐ and replacement cycles for filter media, such as filter foams or active charcoal, depend on tank size and animal stock. Should it really become necessary to replace filter medium, OASE recommends that you undertake the replacement incrementally, for example first replace one of multiple filter foams, after two weeks replace the next one, and so on. The reason is that the biologically active microorganisms that have settled in the filter, settle in the filter media. If you replace everything all at once, the filter will not be completely active for several weeks, because regrowth of bacterial cultures takes some time.
