Cleaning 55 Gallon Tank

[fishkid64]

How do you clean the back wall of the tank off? Also how do you clean off the little green dotted algae on the glass that hardly comes off?

Thanks for the help

i use vinegar to clean my tanks so try that

yea but there is still fish in it, won't that kill the fish?

ok you didnt specify that...how i get algae off my betta tank is taking a washcloth and soak it in the tank water and just clean it off

I take all the tops off incluing the lights and scrub away. I also use the soapless green scrub pads made for the kitchen for the hard algae.

I found that one of those exfoliating gloves from the dollar store works good, Afterwards I rinse it out with plain water and let drip dry.

I agree with cichlidman... that is what I do.. works fine

Just like C-Man and Ken, I just use a scrubby
I now dominate over algae
Mwahaha
Thank-you, carry on

I use an old credit card or gift card for green spot algae... works great!

I bought a metal scraper. Go slow and consistent with your pressure and it will all come off first swipe.
