Day 9: A Dirty Tank

Calcium Buildup

We noticed that a layer of calcium has built up on the sides and bottom of the aquarium. After stirring up the water, the calcium came off and made the water extremely murky. I did a little research, and many people recommend using vinegar to remove it. We’re planning on waiting until after the weekend to clean the tank. On Monday, we’ll empty the tank, scrub it down, and fill it with fresh nutrient solution.
