Cleaning an old fish tank that has green and yellow waterline stains!?

26 April 2010 3 Comments

I got a 55 gal tank from a teacher so that I can use for turtles! The tank was dirty and I cleaned it out with dawn and a scrubbie and even a Mr. Clean magic eraser. But still, there is a greenish yellow line around the tank and it wont scrub clean no matter how hard I try! Any advice on cleaning it?

    try clorox, its magical :-) It can clean anything.

    make sure you rinse it out a couple times afterwards! :-0

    Try to use a bleach solution of about say 80% water and 20% bleach. Is it a glass tank? Because let that soak overnight and see if the lines fade and are easier to scrub off. I had a tank given to me and i scrubbed for forever and let the tank sit with bleach and it came off a little easier. Also, try a glass scraper if its like hard stains or try using some 409 cleaner or some KaBoom cause that stuff really works.
