Happy fish start with healthy water!

Ammonia ⚠️, nitrites ⚠️, nitrates ⚠️ - sounds complicated, but testing them is simple 🧪. Poor water quality stresses fish, encourages algae 🌿, and can even cause illness.

Check water parameters weekly 🗓️, do partial water changes 🔄, and keep an eye on clarity 👀. Clear, balanced water means vibrant fish 🐠, thriving plants 🌿, and less work for you!

Not without checking and treating it first.

New Zealand drinking-water supplies are treated to make them safe for people, but disinfectants such as chlorine can be harmful to fish and the beneficial bacteria supporting the aquarium.

Use a suitable water conditioner whenever tap water is added and prepare the new water at an appropriate temperature. If you’ve moved house or your local supply has changed, check the information provided by your water supplier rather than assuming it is identical to your previous tap water.

AF Water Conditioner is designed to neutralise chlorine and bind heavy metals in tap water. Follow the label and dose for the amount of new water being treated.

New Zealand spring weather can move from jumper weather to every-window-open weather in the same afternoon.

That change can affect the aquarium too, especially in a sunny room or a tank running warm equipment and strong lighting.

Start checking the temperature at different times of day so you know how much it moves. If the tank is getting warmer than the correct range for your livestock, deal with it before the first properly hot day arrives.

AquaRays has a range of aquarium cooling equipment, including fans and temperature controllers for different setups.

A tank refresh should leave the aquarium cleaner without completely disrupting everything living inside it.

Start by testing the water and looking at what actually needs attention. If the glass has algae but the filter flow is still strong, there may be no reason to pull the filter apart too.

Combining every maintenance job into one enormous cleaning session takes longer, disturbs the fish and can remove more beneficial bacteria than necessary.

Work through the tank gradually and let its condition tell you which jobs need doing.

If every water change begins with a search for the siphon, the conditioner and the bucket nobody was supposed to borrow, the job is going to feel harder than it needs to.

Keep your aquarium tools together in one dedicated container. You’ll spend less time searching through cupboards and you’ll know the equipment hasn’t been used with soap or household cleaning products.

Choose cleaning tools that suit your aquarium too. A small magnetic cleaner may be perfect for a nano tank, while a deeper aquarium may need a longer-handled scraper.

AquaRays has a full range of aquarium maintenance tools to help make tank day a little easier.
