With him is garage sale season, I decided to write some useful information about recycling used aquariums too. Are certainly not one who loves a boy, if possible, to share with you some knowledge I have in the past fifteen years, recovery and aquariums, which will save me bought from flea markets gained.
To find things when recycling used aquariums
Visually check the seals silicone aquarium use. Glance atclosely to ensure there are no silicon chips, or missing / peeling sections. If you do not find problems with silicone, it is best to avoid the tank, unless you are comfortable resealed it.
Look chips in the glass corner. Small chips can be filled with some silicone sealant, but may still pose a risk of cuts. To avoid aquariums with larger chips or cracks, as is often bombs - Waking up in 3 to 40 liters of water contained in wholeLiving room floor (and dining room and bedroom) is not a joke. Trust in me and learn from my own experience.
Check available. If you aquarium with a stand that there should be level and square. If it is made of wood, wood to check the mold or other problems. If it is made of metal to ensure that they are not bent or too rusty.
Smell of aquarium. If you use the aquarium for fish, you should avoid fish tanks, which were used for rodents and lizards (l 'Odor should be clear). I have a lot of problems trying to recycle these aquariums in the past had to be used by the contamination of urine and cleaning, the current owner.
Check the equipment. You can ask the previous owner, the cap of light and a pump, in order to run. Lime buildup can be a nightmare to clean the plastic parts, so keep in mind when checking the equipment.
Questions that you, the former owner of Aquarius What type of animalkeep in an aquarium? An aquarium that we should be reused as an aquarium fish previously only accommodated.
What was to clean the aquarium? If the owner of the chemicals used in the aquarium and then clean it should not be used for the fish.
What type of drug was used in the aquarium? This is not so important when you are setting up a freshwater aquarium, but if you think this is a reef aquarium will ensure that no harmful chemicals such as copper or Malachite green used.
He does a seal or any problems with the equipment? It's just good practice, an idea of what you have to do to get by.
How much time has passed since the aquarium has been in operation? If there is a long time (more than one or two years), then the silicone and rubber products will the plant is dry. Once the plants are expected to reduce life expectancy for the aquarium.
Cleaning your recycled> Aquarium
OK, you've found the perfect aquarium, but it is a mess. What you should do to clean it? The tools and cleaners I usually use the aquarium recycling clean as follows:
Scotch pads
A razor blade window scraper
Paper towels
Water
White wine vinegar
A razor blade window scraper has an incredibly smooth surfaces of glass. So make sure you are careful to avoid using a razor blade and the silicone dent with a razor blade. Green ScratchCushions can be used to not be scraped with a razor blade in a corner near the silicon or on plastic parts. I use only pure water in my aquarium clean recycling avoid any possibility of contamination. You can use vinegar on plastic parts, is more difficult to clean. To make sure you clean the vinegar with a damp cloth with water when finished. After that is clean, be sure to check the problems of silicone and then you can double check toensure that it can withstand water. Be sure to fill the tank top and make sure to kill him. If you are sure that the tank is solid and waterproof, you can empty it and put in its new place in your home.
