  • Everyone wants crystal clear aquarium water, but it can be so elusive! Follow these five tips to get your aquarium water crystal clear, and you will be on your way to having your tropical fish look like they're floating in air. While this works for African cichlids and American cichlids, it is also great for other fish combinations, like community tanks and other cichlid tanks. Thanks for watching, and please give this video a "like" if you've enjoyed it.
    Cichlid Charmer is dedicated to sharing the joy of keeping African cichlids and American cichlids and sharing information about them. Much of my content is not cichlid fish specific, however. It also pertains to all tropical fish aquariums. I will share what I have learned about cichlids and other fish, and everyone is welcomed to comment with their own experiences and information about fish and aquarium practices in general.

    THANK YOU! Over time I was becoming increasingly more anxious about cleaning the filter in my 100 gallon tank. I would have small drips and leaks but they would eventually stop. Not this time! I never knew I needed to maintain and change the O Rings. Now I have some leaks and am on the emergency hunt for these guys. I will change them with confidence after this video. Your tank looks fantastic!

    Pleco are my friend they clean glass better than anything, but they are invasive so you need to take care of them.. Don't throw them in the wild.
    You can use newspapers or any paper like that to clean the inside too.

    • @martykorn1424
      @martykorn1424 5 місяців тому

      Plecos are a net loss. They pollute FAR more than they clean.
      No animal can eat more than it wastes. Same reason perpetuation is impossible.

    Are these glass or acrylic tanks? What's the best visual and quality tank to purchase?

    • @CichlidCharmer
      @CichlidCharmer  Рік тому +2

      These are acrylic which is as clear as it gets. If you get a high end glass aquarium with low iron, they are very clear as well. Acrylic will scratch very easily and glass will not. It can shatter though, whereas acrylic doesn’t.

    I have a few question about floting poop 😢
    I have 130gallon tank with X8 filtration 3500L/hours
    It is over flow tank, i have wave maker 10000liters/hours
    Stock with 30 adults 4-5inches,
    Fish poop always flooting when turn on the light😢

    • @CichlidCharmer
      @CichlidCharmer  26 днів тому

      I keep one wavemaker at the top same side as the filter intake. Another wavemaker down low on the other side which creates a current that blows all the detritus towards the intake. Try that if you aren't already. And look for dead spots where the detritus is gathering and move things around until the dead spots are gone.
