	Cleaning Java Moss - How?
seedkiros Mega Fish Posts: 974 Kudos: 270 Votes: 8 Registered: 07-Mar-2003	I have a clump of java moss that is disgustingly dirty (I was away for a month, tank was not cleaned or anything) and I want to find a way to clean it. First of all, the yuckies (dirty stuff )are pretty much stuck on the java moss and the java moss also grows over the stuff. Secondly, if I take the java moss out of the tank it's imposible to see the yuckies, only dark green java moss. Help would be appreciated Thanks.

That is how I do my carpet. I "scrub" the leaves (brush back and forth) across them. If it is not anchored then the above post is a good idea.
