I'm moving and using the opportunity to eradicate the algae plague I have fought since moving here. The crap I have dealt with now that I rely on petshops is unreal. Miss you guys!
I need to completely rid myself of this long, LONG hair algae. Toothbrush, heck, I use a spaghetti scooper daily!
How do I make sure it doesn't follow me?
The best way to sterilize an aquarium is to use Clorox. The higher the concentration the quicker it kills everything. Rinse well and maybe use declor after the final rinse.
Saturated salt solution (SSS) is also an option. wet all surfaces with SSS and repeat a couple of times rinse well Any residual salt is not a problem.
