Set-up Cleaning
It is also important
to clean your new aquarium prior to setup. Simply wipe the inside
and outside with a water-dampened paper towel. Make sure that no
cleaners, detergents or chemicals of any type are used whenever you
are cleaning your aquarium.
Never use Windex or conventional
glass cleaning products as it can add ammonia to your tank. Glass
cleaners with ammonia will discolor and cause "crazing" on acrylic
aquariums.
Regular Maintenance
Tanks and filters must be cleaned regularly to maintain water
quality.
