Hi,
I recently tore down my 46 bowfront FOWLR to move. I farmed the fish out, and emptied it. There was a lot of coraline algae crusted on the glass. I wasnt able to scrape much of it off. In a gesture of desparation (and lack of time to mess with it) I sprayed Tilex bathroom cleaner on it hoping to dissolve it (it works SO well on my tub). It didnt work. The algae is still there. So I need to know about future use of this tank. Which of the following is true: A) I can use the tank, just rinse it out very well first. B) I can use the tank, but first I must scrape the coraline crust off, and rinse/clean it very thoroughly. C) I have ruined this tank forever, and I might as well throw it away. My next application for this tank will be a rain forest vivarium with poison frogs, but it will need to be as clean as for a marine tank. Also, what can I do to help remove the coraline crust, other than a scraper and elbow grease? TIA Phil |
