Aquarium Advice Newbie
Hi everyone! I've been reading here for the last couple weeks, but this is my first actual post.
I recently inherited a 55 gal tank when I moved into a new house, and I'm starting to notice a lot of greenish algae growing on the artificial plants, rocks and driftwood, and even on the gravel.
What's the best way to clean this stuff off? I used a toothbrush before on the plants, but haven't done anything with the rock or wood yet. I'm really paranoid that I'll clean it the wrong way and contaminate my tank. I've never had a tank before so I'm pretty new to all this!
