Question 1

What kind of glass does Aqueon use?

Accepted Answer

Aqueon may use different kinds of glass in individual aquarium models. Aqueon makes many of its aquariums with tempered glass, although non-tempered glass may be also used on some models. Aqueon sometimes substitutes non-tempered glass due to material availability issues and normally add a sticker on the aquarium that indicates the substitution. Aqueon also makes aquariums out of acrylic instead of glass, including on many of their smaller aquarium models. Check out product descriptions on the Chewy site and see item packaging for more specific materials information.

Question 2

Where are Aqueon products made?

Accepted Answer

Aqueon products are made in a variety of locales. The company is headquartered in Wisconsin and some Aqueon products are made in the USA. Other Aqueon products are sourced from manufacturing facilities overseas, including in China.

Question 3

How often should you replace Aqueon filters?

Accepted Answer

You should replace Aqueon filters regularly, but the ideal frequency will depend on what kind of filter you have and things like aquarium load, type, etc. Mechanical filters don't need to be replaced until they stop filtering or start falling apart, and replacing them too often can disrupt the balance of the aquarium. A chemical filter should be changed every month, or every two months at the very least. Biological filters allow beneficial bacteria to grow, so replace them only when they start to fail or fall apart. Most aquarium filters, including multi-stage fish tank filters, will include instructions for use, maintenance and care. Be sure to read all instructions carefully and talk to an expert if you are unsure.

Question 4

Where are Aqueon products made?

Accepted Answer

Aqueon is headquartered in Wisconsin, and its aquarium products are manufactured in multiple locations. Select products are made in the USA, while others are produced in international manufacturing facilities to maintain consistent quality and availability.

Question 5

How often should I replace my Aqueon aquarium filter media?

Accepted Answer

For best results, Aqueon recommends replacing filter cartridges every 4 weeks. For canister and specialty filters, media replacement schedules depend on the type of aquarium filter media you use:

Mechanical filter media: Replace only when it becomes worn or no longer filters effectively.

Chemical filter media (carbon): Replace approximately every 4 weeks.

Biological filter media: Replace only when it begins to deteriorate to preserve beneficial bacteria that support a healthy aquarium.

Most aquarium filters, including multi-stage fish tank filters, will include instructions for use, maintenance and care. Be sure to read all instructions carefully and talk to an expert if you are unsure.

Question 6

How often should I feed my fish?

Accepted Answer

Most aquarium fish should be fed once or twice daily, offering only as much food as they can consume within 2-3 minutes. Overfeeding can lead to excess waste and poor water quality. Aqueon offers a variety of formulas including flakes, granules and pellets designed for specific fish types, making it easy to provide balanced nutrition while helping keep your aquarium clean

Question 7

Do I need to add water conditioner every time I change water?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every time you add tap water to your aquarium, use a water conditioner to neutralize chlorine, chloramines, and heavy metals that can be harmful to fish. Simply treat the amount of new water being added-not the entire aquarium volume unless performing a complete water change.

Question 8

What Aqueon products should every aquarium owner keep on hand?

Accepted Answer

Every aquarium owner should have a few essential maintenance items available:

Fish food formulated for their species

Replacement filter cartridges

Water conditioner for every water change

Aqueon PURE beneficial bacteria to help support biological filtration

A water clarifier for occasional cloudy water

Keeping these essentials on hand helps ensure you're always ready for routine aquarium maintenance and unexpected situations.

Question 9

How do I safely start a new aquarium?

Accepted Answer

A new aquarium needs time to establish beneficial bacteria that naturally break down fish waste and help maintain a healthy aquatic environment. Before adding fish, always treat tap water with a water conditioner and follow proper aquarium setup guidelines.

For an easy way to support the biological startup process, use Aqueon PURE. Its patented live beneficial bacteria capsules help establish and maintain the biological filter that keeps aquariums healthy. Aqueon recommends using PURE when setting up a new aquarium and as part of your regular maintenance routine to help support long-term water quality.
