I would mix a vinegar solution with hot water and put that in there to let it soak. Once it has soaked, take a coarse sponge and scrub the tank...it may take more than once to cut through the slime.





When you are finished, make sure to then re-wash the tank so that no vinegar residue is left behind.
Reply:OK so get a razor blade and scrape it like that, unless it's acrylic then use one specially made for that type of tank. (razor will scratch it) Try using an abrasive like salt or those abrasive pads (look like dish sponges the green ones) that are specifically made for fish tanks (the other ones have soap and stuff on em and will kill your fish) Or go with the bleach plain old laundry bleach if the tank is uninhabited use a solution of about 1 part bleach to 5 parts water let it sit for a bit and then scrub. Once your done rinse rinse rinse and rinse some more until you cant smell the bleach anymore, let the tank completely dry and rinse again. All the bleach will be gone. Fill it add aqua safe or whatever water conditioner you choose and that will get rid of any residual bleach (bleach = chlorine, aqua safe removes chlorine)

Reply:get inside of it and scrub scrub scrub
Reply:Hmm... if scrubbing won't work then I think you can go to a local pet store and they will have a solution to how to fix that up...


Is the green stuff in or outside the tank?


If it is inside then fill the tank with water and go to the petstore and buy this one fish window cleanin colution then go back to your tank, squeeze that solution in it and wait for the green to clear up.


If it is outside then you should ust scrub or use windex, and when it comes out then clean it with cold water.
