emissary June 10, 2005 Share June 10, 2005 So my wife has "her" tank that she keeps in my office. Sometimes the fish eat. The water gets changed almost never. I have finally given up on her behalf and have broken down the tank. There's a crust of green algae all around the tank that I can't seem to get off with a toothbrush under water. nor did mixing vinegar and water and letting it sit for a while. Any tips?

Guest alex wlazlak June 10, 2005 Share June 10, 2005 get it wet with the vineger stuff, and try a mag float?or just use a credit card...they work pretty good, but it takes awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xeon June 10, 2005 Share June 10, 2005 Since it is acrylic, the best bet will probably to get it soaked real good and try using a credit card. I'd let it soak (fill the tank) for a day or so and then try using a CC. I'd even be afraid to use a toothbrush. If that doesn't work, maybe some Novus cleaner or Novus #2? Another idea that might be the easiest would be a diluted bleach solution. Maybe something along the lines of 1/4 cup bleach to a gallon of water. You could probably make it stronger and it wouldn't hurt anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
