Am I going to kill All my Fishes?
Mine is 55Gal heavily planted tank. When I was on vacation (one month) I
left my tank without maintenance and I got lot of algae in my tank. At that time I removed ,my Driftwood from tank for cleaning purpose. But I left it my garage in a bucket full of water. This drift wood has some kind of algae that I am not able to remove it with a nylon a brush. This algae is like small fans (max 1cm) or small clumps (more of a black color). Today I wanted to place that drift wood back into my tank so I added a cup of "Clorox" in that bucket. I will wash the driftwood again with plenty of water. But when I put it back will it leach "chlorine" and kill all my fishes? -- Thank You Dominic |

After soaking your driftwood in Clorox, rinse it, then soak it in regular
tap water with a dechlorinator, then rinse it again. I've done this with airstones - works well. "Aqua" wrote in message ... Mine is 55Gal heavily planted tank.

Absolutely, since bleach *is* clorine ~Empty -- 'You're not friends. You'll never be friends. You'll be in love till it kills you both. You'll fight, and you'll shag, and you'll hate each other till it makes you quiver, but you'll never be friends. Love isn't brains, children, it's blood... blood screaming inside you to work its will. I may be love's bitch, but at least I'm man enough to admit it.' Spike |
