Aquarium Water Change - Sand Vac and Full Tank Cleaning (80% Water Change)

  • Maintenance is part of this hobby and every fish keeper wants to know how to change aquarium water easily. We'll go through the step by step process of how to do a complete aquarium cleaning while accomplishing an easy aquarium water change.
    In my aquarium my fish have become accustomed to an 80% weekly water change. Changing this amount of water drastically reduces the Nitrate levels in the water but can also stress your fish if not done correctly. New water parameters must be identical to the water being removed to successfully attempt an 80% water change.
    Cleaning your tank is a process that should become routine. Lets go over it step by step!

I always used a big bucket and dumped it in after I drain my tank, however I’m going to give the python a try... am I able to fill the tank back up with the tap, and as it’s filling just pour in my solutions? I always stressed it’ll shock the fish if straight tap water goes in ... thanks!

    I have Glofishes that I had for two years and I always every once a month did a 100% water change and they were NEVER stressed. Until ppl on Reddit told me that’s bad to only do %30 water changes every week and when I did that I noticed my fishes getting stressed that one died :/ I feel like I agree with your statement that you should take out more and more water as long as your fishes can handle it.

    • @KaveManAquatics
      @KaveManAquatics  3 года назад +3

      Absolutely! By changing to only 30% water changes you were leaving more nitrates in the tank than they were used to. If your fish can handle big water changes then its always better to give them fresh, new, full of nutrients, no nitrate carrying water! 😊

    Hey kaveman! Have a 29gal sea pro w/ built in refugium to the back. I've been having algae/ bacterial issues a month after tank was first installed. I now watch all your videos, your tank setup is great, you inspired me to try out the "matrix" bio rocks and some more biofiltration techniques. Tank is still a bit cloudy after 4 25-35% water changes this week. Believe I'm on the right track now with your cleaning guides, will just let it handle itself now. Keep up the good work!

    Learned a lot from you over the past few days going over your beginner playlist. Technically, I'm not a beginner but I feel like one because I've been out of the hobby for 12 years.
    Very important point you made about the bacteria on surfaces and not in the water channel. I didn't know that.

    If you do in 80% wanter change all the time it’s not gonna stress the fish, if you don’t do a water change for a long time, and the pH in your tank is really acidic, and all of a sudden you do an 80% water change and make the water very alkaline all of a sudden. The fish stress. Very good sir!

    You rock man! Thanks for the videos. I’m a beginner, we got advice at petco for my daughters new Tetra hifins. Well unfortunately after about 3 hours, our hifins went to fish heaven. We were completely unaware of the nitrogen cycle and, while we waited 3 hours to introduce the fish, added the dechlor and also made sure the water temp was exactly 78, within a couple hours they were gulping air at the surface. My plan now is to introduce some good bacteria and some live plants and the continue to check the ammonia, nitrite and nitrate levels for the next couple weeks. After that we will go back and get some new fishies. Wish we would have found your videos sooner!
