Cleaning fish tank using an Auto Gravel Cleaner

In my other video I use a bucket to clean my fish tank, so show people how to clean their tank becasue I felt that most people would not have an Auto Gravel cleaner. This cost about $20- $39 with 20 feet of hose. (works GREAT if your within the 20 feet of your sink) In this video I am using gravel cleaner ... Its a lot more easy. Simply hook up to your kitchen sink and drain the water as you clean the gravel and then Return the water the same way. No buckets needed and it fills up the tank too.. EASY!!!! GENERAL TIPS 1) DO NOT remove the fish LEAVE THEM IN THE TANK... 2) only remove 20 - 25% of the water using this gravel cleaner method. 3) ALWAYS USE STRESS COAT 4) Mix water with hot and cold to make it about 79. 4) ONLY FEED FISH ONCE A DAY.. 5) remove big rock and plastic plants and soak in bleach over night and wash off or place in dishwasher with bleach.. NO THIS WILL NOT HARM YOUR FISH. Most weeks if I dont have the time I simpy do the water change as above and i dont even wash off the rocks... I do a water change and clean the gravel and leave it be...Sorry for the poor sound on this video I was using a friends cam.. This total process of what I call a FAST cleaning , tanks about 10 minutes...I HAVE NOT LOST ANY FISH IN OVER 4 YEARS.... IT WORKS! ( my tank was overcrouded so I traded in 5 tin foil barbs for the new LARGE Gold Silverm.. )

what if u only have a 1 gallon tank

[Txdave01]

@sk8tergurl0400 Well thats a good question. In that case I would have to ask you a question. What kind of fish do you have in a 1 gallon tank? a male betta? If this is the case. I would have two of the one gallon tanks. One that the fish lives in and another that ready to go. 1) take the new one gallon tank and have it cleaned and ready to go. When its time to clean of the other tank, fill it with the same temp water. Place the fish in it. Use stresscoat. You will have no issues.

Nice video

[Txdave01]

@vibushan10 nope, it just delivers the water. You must add StressCoat.
