Question

I have 2 small sharks and a dalmation mollie.How to keep the glass walls crystal clear and free from salt stains?

Answer 1

good filtration, many many times the necessary amount. activated carbon gets cloudiness out of a tank, (using carbon during the cycling process helps the cycling go faster. and helps get meds out of water when needed and helps on a extra dirty tank) but dont keep the carbon in the tank all the time, only when it is needed.  occasional wipe downs of the aquarium with a rag (one without any residue of soap) on the tank (its ok if the fish are still in the tank while you clean it, just make sure there is NO soap) this will keep the salt stains away. also, reducing the salt amount would help. not keeping the lights on too much help keep algae down.

Answer 3

Every now and then you will probably have to remove the lid and clean it and the frame if using salts. You will want to use an algae magnet or scrubber to clean the inside of the glass. Proper filtration will help in keeping the water clear, along with enough water changes. I recommend using canister filters, they are great with keeping water clear. Carbon can be used for removing meds, and when starting a new tank, but if left too long can leak harmful substances back into the water. So I hardly ever use the carbon.
