Fish tanks are a wonderful centerpiece to a room. Fish and other aquatic animals are fascinating to watch, and you can customize your water world with plants and decorations that match your style. However, regular maintenance is a must, as fish and other aquatic pets are extremely sensitive to pH changes and unclean water. A practical, healthy aquarium needs functioning filtration, temperature control, and water conditioners to provide the optimal setting for your fish. If you're looking for help optimizing your aquarium in the Muskego, WI area, come down to Pet Supplies 'N' More and let us show you everything you need to maintain your water clean.

Fish are sensitive creatures to both temperature and pollution, and so, it's very important that you are routinely cleaning and maintaining their setting. Here are some  essential tools that you must be using to help you enhance your aquarium.

Water filtration system: These bubbling tubes draw water up and through a fine filter, eliminating damaging particles that can make your fish ill and cloud the water. Every fish tank needs to have a filter that is appropriate for its size.

Water conditioner: Conditioner helps avoid stress-related diseases that happen when the pH or temperature of the water is not optimal for fish. While these also help for aquariums full of chlorinated tap water, you should always leave tap water out overnight before adding it to your fish tank. This offers the chlorine time to evaporate out of the water and will make it healthier for your aquarium.

Aquatic plants: Including plants to your fish tank gives your fish a much less stressful environment as it more closely resembles their natural habitat and provides places to hide. Additionally, plants help lower the carbon in the water, which in turn helps keep the acidity balanced. Just ensure you're getting tablets or drops to help keep your plants healthy as well - aquatic plant care is important to maintaining a prospering aquarium.

Mineral treatments and pH balancers: Keeping the minerality and acidity of your aquarium completely balanced for your fish is critical to their survival. Mineral treatments and pH balancers will ensure your fish has a healthy environment to live in. In addition, if you have a brackish or saltwater tank, you'll need to ensure the salinity is optimized as well, and a pet store can help with that.

Keeping your aquarium's water conditioned, pH balanced, and clean will ensure a long and healthy life for your fish. We have the expertise here at Pet Supplies 'N' More, so give us a call at (262) 679-6776 or drop in and see us today.
