Pomthai Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Um, never heard of this service, its pretty simple to do your self. Ours is about 1 metre by 50 x 60cm. I just siphon drain it down 2/3 of the way every 3 months or so, change the filters or clean them (scotch brights make a great filter medium) then top it up again with clean water. As long as the water isn't chlorinated and you add it slowly, you shouldn't have any problems. Use a bit of common sense and make sure the water your adding is about the same temperature and not from a garden hose that's been in the sun, you ought to be fine. Leave the fish in the tank, as trying to catch them I reckon causes more stress than simply partially draining down as above. /Nemo, like this post. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfalfa19 Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 If you do it yourself, make certain that absolutely no detergents of any kind are introduced into the tank. One drop of detergent will kill all fish in a 50 gallon tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhythmworx Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Take filter (presuming you have one) out of pump and wash and replace. Get a magnetic glass cleaner, move your hand up and down. Job is done. If you have debris on the bottom you are overfeeding or in need of some little albino catfish, loaches or anything that eats from the gravel.

johng Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 (edited) The sucking catfish (plecostomus ) are excellent at keeping the glass inside a tank clean. ( assuming its a fresh water tank ) Edited April 7, 2014 by johng Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johng Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 There are supposed to be a couple of Aquarium shops along the Theprasit road ( not found them myself though ) there is one along South Pattaya road almost opposite the Mosque and Navy School there is one along Third road just before you get to the flyover ( Bali hai / walking street end ) there is one on North Pattaya road almost on the corner where it joins Sukhumvit There's a foreign run shop that supplied /looks after all the fish tanks at the immigration office ( pattayaaquatics.com ) I'm sure at least one of these would come and clean your tank.

Where are you ? in central PattayaSent from my GT-I9505 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app There is an aquarium / Koi fish shop on Pattaya Nua. They used to be closer to Sukumvit but moved closer to the Third road intersection. They are now located next to a Thai health spa on the left hand side going towards Sukumvit When they were at their old location they used to have a sign offering a tank cleaning service. Don't know it they still offer that service at the new location 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
