When it comes to office cleaning, there are many different tasks that should be completed on a regular basis, and this can be difficult for busy office professionals, which is why it makes sense to hire a professional San Diego office cleaning company to do your dirty work, so to speak, for you.
If you’ve decided to brighten up your office by adding an aquarium, you have likely discovered that those pretty fish and their home require a lot of care and maintenance. If your cleaning company does not include aquarium cleaning in their services, you will be responsible for tackling the job yourself. Here are some tips that can help you:
Before cleaning anything, pour some of the old aquarium water into a spare bowl and gently scoop your fish out of the aquarium and into the spare bowl.
Don’t worry about removing everything from the aquarium-unless your tank is really filthy, you should leave some of the decorations in place because they are likely breeders of beneficial bacteria that actually improve the air filtration quality.
Use a small gravel siphon to clean debris from the gravel in your tank, and use an algae scraper to remove the green algae deposits from the sides of the tanks.
On a weekly basis, remove approximately fifteen percent of the old water and carefully pour in dechlorinated tap water. Make sure that this water is the same temperature as the water still in the tank, and that you add the necessary water conditioners. If you aren’t sure whether or not you need water conditioners, ask your pet store.
With a little weekly care and maintenance, an office aquarium can make any space seem brighter and more inviting.
