Aquarium Advice Addict
Hello,
I have just picked up a great tank that was previously used.
It has a lot of calcium buildup and some old dried on algae.....what is the best way to clean it?
I have some chemicals that are awesome at cleaning this stuff and my husband says to use that...but am wary of using them on a fish tank. (It is a professional bowl ring remover which contains hydrofluoric acid...that just seems scary)but then perhaps some of you chemical experts can tell me the real scoop with that.
I am thinking vinegar and a scrub brush or brillo pad.
The tank is glass, would that scratch it up? I really don't think it would but thought I would put it out there to all of you.
