Power Cord Drip Loop Since some of your aquarium equipment requires electricity to operate, your aquarium should be placed within close proximity to an electrical outlet. One of the best and simplest tools that will enforce the separation of water and electricity is the “drip loop.” The drip loop is formed by ensuring that the power cords leading into the outlet approach the outlet from underneath the plug socket. If water drips down a power cord, it will fall off at the upward bend in the cord, never making it to the electrical outlet.

Aquarium Water Changes For more information, visit aqueon.com. Regular partial water changes remove pollutants and growth inhibitors that accumulate over time and help stabilize pH and buffering capacity in your aquarium. They replenish trace elements and important minerals that are used by fish, invertebrates and plants, as well as the biological processes that maintain balance in your aquarium. There are different philosophies regarding water changes in an aquarium, but the best practice is to do small partial water changes on a regular basis. Most hobbyists change 25% of the water in their aquarium every 2 to 4 weeks, but heavily stocked aquariums, those that house large messy fish or extremely sensitive fish, or aquariums that are fed generously will benefit from more frequent changes. Many “old school” aquarists perform a 10% to 25% water change on their aquariums every week. Changing more than 50% of the water is not recommended.
