Maintain the beauty of your aquarium as well as the vitality of your fish with fish tank cleaners and aquarium supplies available at Petco.
Maintaining the right temperature
Aquarium maintenance is more than just regularly cleaning your tank. You will need to maintain water temperatures appropriate for the fish you choose to have in your tank. Aquarium thermometers can help you with this.
Maintaining fresh and saltwater aquariums
Aquarium maintenance also includes maintaining good tank and water quality. You can buy testing kits to measure water hardness, ammonia, nitrites, nitrates and dissolved oxygen in your aquarium. And we have replacement parts for any filters or pumps that need repairing.
The supplies you need depend on the size of your tank, whether you have a 90-gallon saltwater tank or a 25-gallon freshwater tank. As a fishkeeper, it’s important that you use the right aquarium maintenance supplies to keep a clean environment for your fish.

General tank maintenance tips
To maintain proper pH levels and remove waste, you should change 20% - 25% of the water in your aquarium at least once a month. To keep your hands dry while you clean, some pet parents use a magnetic fish tank cleaner. You can even use substrate vacuuming solutions to clean substrate debris without removing the gravel.
