我们都希望保持丙烯酸或玻璃水族馆的清晰度。虽然有时可能会具有挑战性,尤其是使用丙烯酸储罐,但使用正确的工具会使您的水族馆远离藻类和无刮擦。
您将需要购买每周或每日清洁的磁刮刀。您将能够用磁铁清洁大多数藻类。如果您有丙烯酸水族馆,请确保将磁铁安全用于丙烯酸。
For extra protection for your aquarium walls, you can cover your magnet with an abrasive plastic mesh, like the ones that cover a kitchen sponge. The fine grooves of the plastic cover trap sand so it does not come in contact with the aquarium walls. Change out the cover when needed as it gets worn down or covered in algae.
While you are cleaning, make sure to check your magnet for any sand granules or debris which can be caught between the two magnets. Remove them before continuing to clean your aquarium so there is no risk of scratches.
您可能必须在擦洗沙子附近时经常这样做。一些深色的沙子可能有磁性颗粒。因此,您想密切注意这一点,同时在储罐底部擦洗。
Run the magnets slow and in straight lines so you do not miss any algae that is difficult to see. If you are using a plastic cover, move the magnet in the direction of the grooves. This will allow you to remove the algae as efficiently as possible.
If you are looking for a deep clean after finishing with your magnet, you can use a scraper to reach the corners, sand line, and hard to get areas of your tank. You can use a metal blade scraper with glass panels. For acrylic tank you will need to use a plastic or felt tip blade.
Depending on how often you clean your aquarium pink coralline algae can build up. We like keeping the back wall of our aquarium ‘au natural’ and like to see coralline or algae build up. On the side and front walls we use a plastic blade on acrylic for any spots that are tough to scrub off.
If you’re expecting guest and really want to show off your tank, take a minute to look closely at each panel for any spots you might have missed. Look through the side panels from different angles to see if there is any left over algae.
Investing in an aquarium care magnet, and adopting a weekly or daily routine will keep your take looking it’s best. Remember to pay attention when cleaning your aquarium to avoid sand getting stuck between your magnet.
These simple steps can prevent your aquarium from getting scratched while maintaining optimum clarity. Although there are more fun aspects of keeping an aquarium than scrubbing algae, it allows us to connect with our tanks, looking at their detail closer than we normally would.
