Okay, I know this is an amateur mistake.
I have been dealing with a pretty nasty algae problem for over six months, doing water changes, taking out my decorations constantly and scrubbing the crud out of them, using an algae solution, installing a filter thingy under the rocks that pumps nutrients back up to the surface. (It claimed to help control algae)
I'M AT MY WITS END WITH IT!!!
So, I took out all my decorations, scrubbed my aquarium walls, shifted the rocks around, used the fish net to catch all the big derbis and threw my decorations in the sink with hot water and dawn to remove the algae.
How would I go about getting the soap residue off the decorations? Should I use a bleach/water solution afterwards, and let them sit in the sun for awhile? (I also live in Texas, our sun is pretty brutal)
Please help! I feel like an idiot that just got way to fed up and impatient, and I really need help!!! I don't want to kill off my fishies!!
