Equipment:length of hose to correct length, water declorinator, vacum attachment.
my weekly maintenance consists of
a length of pipe attached to a gravel vacum. i then lightly hoover the surface of the sand. this removes about 20% of the water. i then remove anover 5-10% from hoovering the rock etc in the tank. i then add declorinator directlyto the tank (i use 50%more than stated). i then fill the tank up using another hose attahced to a mixer tap to get roughly the same water temp. while i do this none of my filter get turned of
on my tank i have 2 external filters. i clean the every 4 weeks. but i stager it so i clean filter 1, two weeks later filter 2, two week later filter 1 etc. i clean all the sponge under the tap and all the biological media in the filter i took it out of.
