How Do You Clean A 20-Gallon Fish Tank?
Cleaning your fish tank frequently will not only reduce unsightly algae buildup, but it will also ensure a long, healthy life for your fish. Cleaning your 20-gallon fish tank doesn’t have to be time-consuming. In fact, the more often you clean the tank, the quicker the cleaning process becomes. If you want to clean your fish tank in the safest, most natural way, follow a few basic steps. Unplug everything connected to the tank. Remove the hood and clean the algae off of it by wiping it with a rag, paper towel or an algae pad. You can find algae pads at most aquarium or pet stores. You may want to clean the hood in a sink, bathtub or outdoors. Insert your siphon hose into the tank and remove approximately 4 to 5 gallons of water. Siphon the water into a 5-gallon bucket. Removing some of the water will allow you to reach your arm into the tank without overflowing it while you’re scrubbing. Scrub all the glass sides of the tank with a clean rag or algae pad.
