If you’re not experienced with aquariums then it can be hard to know how to maintain them as there are a lot of rules and precautions that aren’t immediately obvious. For example it’s very important with an aquarium never to completely empty out the tank. Many people think that the reason for this is that it will kill the fish, and so they try to overcome the problem by taking the fish out in bags first. However this actually has nothing to do with the reason – with the real reason instead being that the water takes a certain amount of time to become a suitable environment for your fish – with fresh water being too cold and not filtered or oxygenated enough. As such you instead need to empty out half of the water and fill half fresh water back in each time while being careful to make sure you allow it to return to room temperature. If you are unsure you should get water feature servicing to keep the water clean and suitable for your fish. Meanwhile your aerator, plants, filter and pump all need to be in working order and this too requires a certain amount of maintenance, and from time to time the whole tank will need cleaning out, all of which makes water feature servicing highly important for custom aquariums.
