If you notice that the water in your aquarium has become cloudy, take immediate action to clean it.
If you leave everything as is, not only will the appearance of the aquarium be spoiled, but it will also create a danger for the fish.
Siphon the soil
Remember that you cannot wash the soil with water, as this can wash away beneficial bacteria that play an important role in the process of waste decomposition.
Clean the filter
When you clean the filter, put activated carbon in it, as it is able to absorb harmful substances from the water.
Do not feed your fish for two or three days.
Don't worry, your pets won't starve to death. Instead, they'll start gnawing on algae, growths, and rot, and harmful microbes won't get a new supply of food.
Ensure sufficient oxygen levels in the water
Aeration requires the use of special equipment. In oxygen-saturated water, the process of oxidation of organic matter occurs faster, which helps fight harmful bacteria. In addition, it is beneficial for the health of your fish.
Plant some plants
Some aquarium plants, such as tubular elodea, help combat bacterial turbidity. Incidentally, a sign that bacterial activity in the aquarium is decreasing is the disappearance of the unpleasant odor of the water.
Use special preparations for cleaning aquarium water
"Bicillin-5", "Ericyclin", acid phosphate are good options. Treat the water with one of these preparations for several days. You can also use ozone UV sterilization to clean the water in the aquarium.
