How can I remove algae from aquarium decorations?
I will be taking my aquarium down this weekend as I no longer have time to maintain it (I have found a good home for my fish). There is a fair amount of algae in the tank - I can scrape it off the sides of the tank easily enough, but I'm not sure how to remove it from the various decorations, etc., that aren't flat enough to scrape. Any suggestions?
Make a mixture of about 10% bleach and 90% water. Let the decorations soak in it for a bit - you will see the algae go away - then rinse very well and allow to fully dry before returning it to the aquarium - if it dries fully then there are no traces of bleach and you have a very clean decoration!
Silicone aquarium sealant can be found in almost any fish store and is usually available in clear or black. Sealants designed for aquariums are safe for fish and aquarium tankmates when fully cured, but stay away from other sealants like those used for bathroom or hardware applications. You can use sealants to make caves from pieces of rock or rubble, glue shells, stones or other decorations together, or even to cover things like PVC or plastic “caves” with substrate or rocks to form a more natural-looking hideaway. Note: The tank in these photos has a custom background created by arranging and attaching layered slate with black silicone. The effect of the rock wall is rather permanent, but impressive as it adds dimension. This background was applied before the tank was set-up.
