Step 1
Lime deposits tend to accumulate on the walls of the aquarium, especially in the upper part. Moreover, there are often so many of them that a simple brush and hot water will no longer help. Better get a razor blade or razor. This machine is very convenient for cleaning plaque. It is clear that such cleaning should be carried out in the absence of the inhabitants of the aquarium.

Step 4
Purchase a special scraper (glass cleaner) for the aquarium, it delicately cleans the glass surface. His price is quite affordable.
Step 5
Drain the aquarium completely. Soak a sponge or napkin in vinegar and scrub the inside. This method is effective, the main thing is to thoroughly rinse the aquarium after such a procedure.

Wash the walls of the aquarium at least once a month, both inside and out. Do not use household detergents and fine sand that are harmful to the inhabitants of the aquarium. Check contamination regularly.
