1700 gallon Aquarium Vivarium AquaScaping Before and After
What happens here
Carefully enter the large aquarium, being mindful of the water temperature and the presence of the fish. Use a credit card to gently yet firmly scrape off stubborn algae and grime from the interior acrylic walls. A credit card is recommended for this task as it is less likely to scratch acrylic surfaces compared to metal scrapers. The video notes small guppies nibbling on the cleaner's toes, indicating the water is suitable for fish despite the heavy algae growth.
Goal: Remove algae from the tank's acrylic surfaces effectively and safely.
