	Best Way To Clean Plastic Plants
bmcelfresh Hobbyist Posts: 77 Kudos: 81 Votes: 4 Registered: 14-Oct-2004	I have three tanks and all the fish are types to eat and move live plants. What is the best way to clean algae, etc... off of the plastic plants? I have tried boiling and that was a joke (need to buy new plants). Barb

Then make sure you rinse them extremly well to remove all the soap or otherwise it will create far more problems than the plants are worth. There could be chemicals cleaners you could also but these could cause more problems than the soap. If the plants are that old why not just replace them. Finally why are you continually getting the algae to start off with. Post a full water peramiters and more info about your tank please. *Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info* Look here for my Betta 11Gal Desktop & Placidity 5ft Community Tank Photos Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.
