Hello all!!

I would ask Sarah (barleychown) this question, Ariel. This is in her expertise area.

I've used a light bleach soolution, then rinse & rinse & rinse again to be sure its all gone. Dry it to get rid of residue then add water.

Ask at the store where you're going to get your fish.

THanks it has been a work in progress have had two of the 3 we have gone bad one twice one once. Looking like u got all under control now. All fish are healthy
funny part is my loves tank is better then mine but he saw from my mistakes and i have been helping him. It looks like your are looking into the amazon or some tropical waters when you look into his. Very neat but wont admit that to him completely
he keeps telling me wow look at my tank it looks so nice
