Use an old toothbrush to work the solution into the seams of the glass. Be sure to rinse the tank well when you are done. Do the same with your nets and hardscape. Fill the tank with water and add a triple dose of your dechlorinating agent then place your rinsed nets and plants into the aquarium. __________ "To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many is research." researched from Steven Wright

Before you criticize someone walk a mile in their shoes. That way you're a mile away and you have their shoes.
