Salt water aquariums make a stunning addition to any home. While they are rumored to be overly difficult to keep, most salt water aquariums can be maintained with regular maintenance and a little bit of effort.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Glass Cleaner
  • Washcloth
  • Aquarium
  1. Step 1

    You should remove the salt creep during each aquarium salt water tank water change. Dampen your wash cloth with plain water and wipe the salt creep on the inside rim of the tank, lid and lighting.

  2. Step 2

    Spray some glass cleaner on the wash cloth, and wipe the front and sides of the fish tank, where you see salt creep.

  3. Step 3

    Repeat the process with the back of the fish tank, to ensure that your tank looks shiny and clean, and that there is no more salt creep. Enjoy your clean tank.

Tips & Warnings
  • Do not spray glass cleaner on or near the tank- the chemicals in glass cleaner can easily drift into the tank, killing your aquarium animals. Use caution.
