How to Clean Your Large Fish Tank
The downside to owning a large fish tank is that it is more work to clean it every week (preferable.) If you want your fish to live a long time and your tank to look clean and clear and free from algae overtaking your habitat then you’ve got to properly clean your tank. Here are the basics.
Siphoning
At least once a week you should siphon out 20% of the water from your tank into a giant bucket and then replace that old water with new tap water that has been properly treated to remove the harmfull acid and iron from the water. When siphoning make sure you dig around into the rocks to get all the waste and leftover food out that has fallen to the bottom. Don’t worry about scaring your fish they should be fine with your sticking your hand and siphon into the tank and going over it thoroughly. When you put the new water into the tank don’t just pour it in which can upset the landscaping but use the siphon to slowly filter the new water into the tank.
Algae scraper
These tools are cheap and effective. Use a squeegee like algae scraper to clean up the walls of your tank from being overrun with algae which not only looks bad but can be harmful to your tank. If you are looking for an easier solution invest in buying an algae eater fish like a pleco which will roam around your tank at night and help to keep it clean and free from algae.
Don’t overfeed
The amateur mistake of first time fish keepers…don’t overfeed your fish as it can lead to waste buildup in your tank. Feed them a small amount of flakes or pellets about twice a day to keep them healthy and satisfied. Remember that it is always more safe to underfeed than to overfeed.

when a fisherman wants to reel a large dead shark hooked on a thin fishing line?
he will not jerk the line because it will break , so he will reel it gradually and smoothly so it will hold. why? can somebody explain according to newton's laws of motion.
Basically, inertia. A body at rest wants to stay a rest, a moving body wants to stay moving. With gentle pressure on the line (within it's breaking strain) the shark will start to move, as it moves it will take less effort to keep it moving. If it was jerked from a standstill, the inertia is such that the load could exceed the breaking strain of the line.
When the shark comes to the surface, it would need to be lifted out as the water will no longer offer boyancy and the weight of sharky will break the line.
