    Hello! How can I clean algae that forms on fake plants? I use hot water and a baby bottle brush but it is stubborn! My plants are silk, I guess. They are plants specifically for fish tanks and made of a fabric material. Any safe tips? Thanks!

    My fish died recently (RIP Franky), most likely from a bacterial infection. I was wondering what the best way to clean the tank is, and if I should get all new substrate, decor, and filter, or if I can just sanitize all of that and reuse it?

    I just bought a small gravel siphon for my 2.5 gallon tank and it transports water fine, but it leaves all the gross residue and stuff. It just stirs it all up like a bowl of soup in my tank and then it settles back down, it doesn't actually clean out the debris. Am I doing something wrong? In...

    Whilst looking online, I found an article about how to Sanitize your aquarium. I thought it might be good to share for others who do not know how to, either: Bleach is one of the safest and most effective methods for sanitizing an aquarium before the initial set-up. Many people are afraid to...
