Aquariums 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 upkeep is a must, as fish and other aquatic pets are extremely sensitive to pH modifications and dirty water. A practical, healthy fish tank needs functioning filtration, temperature control, and water conditioners to provide the optimal setting for your fish. If you're looking for assistance enhancing your fish tank in the Evergreen, CO area, come down to Chow Down Pet Supplies and let us show you everything you need to keep your water clean.

Fish are sensitive creatures to both temperature and contamination, therefore, it's very important that you are regularly 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 pull water up and through a fine filter, eliminating harmful 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 stop stress-related diseases that happen when the pH or temperature of the water is not optimal for fish. While these also help for fish tanks full of chlorinated tap water, you should always leave tap water out over night before adding it to your aquarium. This gives the chlorine time to evaporate out of the water and will make it much healthier for your aquarium.

Aquatic plants: Including plants to your aquarium provides your fish a much less stressful setting 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 maintain the level of acidity well balanced. Simply ensure you're getting tablets or drops to help maintain your plants healthy as well - aquatic plant care is crucial to keeping a flourishing fish tank.

Mineral treatments and pH balancers: Keeping the minerality and acidity of your aquarium perfectly balanced for your fish is important 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 assist 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 experience here at Chow Down Pet Supplies, so give us a call at (303) 674-8711 or stop by and see us today.
