In order to the clean the tank you will need a net to safely remove the fish, a vacuum or siphon to remove the debris, and a five gallon bucket to change the water. You do not need to remove the fish from the water each time you clean the tank. It is best if you can try to keep the fish inside the water while you clean it. If you need to remove the fish, then use the net to transfer them to a large container. Make sure the water is de-chlorinated before placing the fish in the temporary container. You will need to vacuum or siphon feces and debris from the tank at least once a week. Use a siphon to remove the debris. If you have gravel in your tank, run the vacuum over the top of the gravel. If you have sand, hold the vacuum slightly above the sand to avoid dispersing and/or sucking up the sand. You will also need to change the water once a week. Use a five-gallon pitcher to remove and replace the water. Replace a third of the water with fresh water each week. If algae is growing on the tank's walls, then clean and remove this, as well. Use a clean rag to remove the algae. If the fish is attempting to get past your hand and nip the rag you can use an algae scrubber, which you can buy online or at your local pet store (Or Fish Market.)

Summary: Purchase the cleaning materials. Vacuum the tank. Change the water.

Washing your hair with shampoo and conditioner is still a crucial step. Unlike with mousses and gels, your hair should be completely dry before applying pomade. This means, however, you can reapply it throughout the day as needed. You can towel your hair dry, but consider blow drying it to give it extra volume. You can dip three of your fingers in the pomade to coat them thinly. Remember, less is more! Too much pomade makes your hair look limp and soggy. To avoid this unpleasant look, restrict yourself now and get more as needed later. You can also use hair wax. It's applied the same way as pomade. While it doesn't necessarily create a shiny, "wet" look, wax tends to effectively control unruly hair textures. Also, wax can be more difficult to rinse out than pomade is. Rather than use a comb, use your fingertips like a comb. Run your fingers through your hair. You'll give your hair a light coating, but make sure it's evenly spread. It does not need to be worked down to the roots yet. Styling with only your fingers is bound to make your hair look messy and greasy. Stick to using a comb for large patches of hair. Run the comb through your hair to smooth it and spread the pomade down to the roots. You can comb your hair to part it, slick it back, or make it a little messy on top. Earn some extra style points by running your fingers through your hair to sculpt it. Instead of the slick look, try brushing your hair up and back. You can use a brush or comb to finish smoothing it back before patting it down. This is how you create a more voluminous slick or a pompadour. Carrying a small jar of pomade with you can be useful. If you ever notice that your hair is out of place, you'll easily be able to put in some more pomade to fix it. Pomade usually needs to be used up to three times a day. For more holding power, spray on some hairspray after the first application of pomade. It'll typically keep your hair in place until nighttime.

Summary: Dry your hair completely. Coat your fingers lightly with pomade. Work the pomade into your hair with your fingers. Comb your hair to style it. Use your fingers to shape your hair. Reapply the pomade throughout the day as needed.

Before you begin purchasing materials and building your deck stairs, you need to go online, call your local government, or contact a building inspector to make sure you're following your local building codes. Building codes can vary, so you need to be sure you're following your local codes or you could face a fine and be forced to remove your deck stairs. Many local governments list their building codes online. The first thing you need to do is find where your stairs will end, or where the landing spot will be. Picture a line running from the edge of your deck down to the ground at a 40-degree angle. Place a tape measure on the ground where you think the stairs will end. It does not have to be measured precisely. The 40-degree slope should start the bottom of the support beam of the deck because this is where the stringers will be attached. Take a 2in (5.1cm) by 4in (10cm) board and lay it on the top of the deck so it stretches over the landing spot that you estimated. Use a 4ft (1.2m) level to make sure the board is level above the landing spot. Use a tape measure to measure from the landing spot on the ground to the bottom of the straight board to find the approximate height, or total rise, of your stairs. Write down the measurements so you can calculate the materials later. Take the measurement you made of the total rise, divide it by 7, and round the number to find the total number of stairs you'll need for your deck. If you have a number with a decimal that is 0.5 or more, then round the number up. If your number is less than 0.5, then round the number down. For example, if your total rise was 60 inches (150cm), then divide that number by 7 to get 8.57. Round that number up to get 9 stairs. Write down this number to use in your calculations. The actual rise, or height, of each step can be calculated by dividing the total rise by the approximate number of stairs. This will tell you how tall each step will be. For example, if your total rise is 60 inches (150cm) and your approximate number of steps is 9, divide 60 inches (150cm) by 9 to get 6.67 inches (16.9cm) per step. Most building codes say stair risers should not be taller than 7.75 inches (19.7cm). The treads boards create the part of the stair that you step on. According to many building codes, the stair treads should be at least 36 inches (91cm) long 10 inches (25cm) wide. The number of steps you calculated is the number of treads that you'll need. Stringers are boards that have sawtoothed or stair-shaped notches cut into them and run diagonally along the length of the stairs to support them. To find their length, add together the square of the run, or tread, and the square of the rise. Then take that number, find the square root, and multiply it by the number of steps to find the actual length of the stringers you'll need. For example, if your tread is 10 inches (25cm), square 10 by multiplying the number by itself, which gives you 100. If your rise is 7 inches (18cm), square that number by multiplying it by itself to get 49. Add 100 to 49 to get 149, then find the square root of 149, which is 12.206. Multiply that by the number of steps that you have to find the total length of your stringers.
Summary: Check your local building codes regarding deck stairs. Imagine a 40-degree slope to find the landing zone of your stairs. Rest a straight board on the deck and make it level over the landing spot. Measure the total rise from the landing spot to the straight board. Divide the total rise by 7 to find the approximate amount of steps. Find the rise of each step by dividing the total rise by the number of steps. Use tread boards that are at least 10 inches (25cm) wide. Find the length of the staircase by calculating the length of the stringers.
