What are the methods to remove scale from fish tanks

Many friends like to raise fish at home. It not only serves as a decoration, but also adds vitality to the interior. However, when we raise fish, we will find that there will be scale on the fish tank when changing the water, and it is particularly difficult to remove it using usual methods. This makes us feel very distressed. So, what are the methods to remove scale from fish tanks? Let’s take a look at it below.

There are two possibilities.

The first is brown algae. The color is brown.

Brown algae are more likely to appear in a "new" aquarium. In a week or two, brown diatoms will often disappear automatically (become invisible). This happens because the nitrification system of a newly set up aquarium has not yet been fully established.

Solution:

1. You can raise young bearded fish, which can stick to the wall of the tank and eat brown algae.

2. Add high-quality nitrifying bacteria capsules or aqueous solution into the filter tank, and keep the filtration system and oxygenation equipment open 24 hours a day.

3. Don’t feed too much.

Wait for a while and the brown algae will slowly disappear.

The second type is scale, which appears as white marks. The reason is that tap water has a high hardness, just like scale will appear when boiling water.

Solution:

1. Use a paper towel to dip a little toothpaste and gently wipe off the scale. This is a temporary solution.

2. Put water softening resin in the filter tank (needs to be replaced regularly), or mix tap water with purified water (the hardness of purified water is basically 0) every time you change the water. These can fundamentally reduce the hardness of the water, and scale will rarely appear.

Through the above introduction, we now know what methods are available to remove scale from fish tanks. This is also something we need to pay attention to when we raise fish. Generally, we must clean it in time after scale appears. Do not clean it after the situation becomes serious. It will be a bit difficult to clean it after it becomes serious. In addition, we must also pay attention to the correct fish raising methods.
