So when all the fish die, and you don't want to buy more. It's time to give away the fish tank. Not in it's current condition, so here' how to clean it out completely.
Gather the fishtank vaccum to reduce the water to 1/2 level. Using gravity to Drain the dirty water into a bucket.
Until your bucket is full of water.
Take it to the dump.
No, this kind of dump.
The next step is to scrub the sides with the tank scrubber to remove the calcium deposits and algae growth.
The brush needs to be wet and kept wet to keep from scratching the glass.
Scoop out the gravel. It might have another purpose.
6 square inches of mulch?
Remove the plants. If they're super nasty, they're not worth keeping.
Now all that's left is some serious calcium deposits near the top.
Yuck.
Tough jobs call for tough stuff like bleach or vinegar. Since the smell of bleach makes me gag, I chose vinegar.
45 minutes later...Better, but not gone. I think it's good enough for a garage sale.
$1 in my pocket.
