leeves Posted January 12, 2003 Report Share Posted January 12, 2003 What would be a good chemical for the removal of equipment covered in algae. As I have just aquired a whole lot of new equip. I need to clean it all and remove the green scum to install in to my new tank. Is there a house hold solution for this ? sorry if this has been brought up before... :oops: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shilo Posted January 12, 2003 Report Share Posted January 12, 2003 Janola, Bleach, Chlorine or mold remover from the supermarket kills any algae. But make sure you scrub and rinse well to remove any trace afterwards - you don't want your fish or plants turning albino :oops: (if they last that long! Another good equipment is potassium permagnate available from a pharmacy. Don't know if it will kill algae, but does kill everything else. Good luck Shilo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
