Aquarium Ornaments
How should I clean my fish aquarium ornaments/decorations? Is bleach OK?
I have a 10 Gallon Aquarium and my decorations are very dirty.
The colour has faded into a dark brown dirty colour.
I researched and found out that I could use a bucket of water and add 1/2 cup of bleach in it and soak my ornaments. I can then take them out and rinse them in HOT Water for about 60 seconds and then they should be safe to put back in the Aquarium.
***I would like to know if these steps are safe and if using bleach is safe.
PLEASE HELP!
I wouldn’t use bleach. The “dirt” probably contains some algae and living material that’s healthy for a tank. If you want to clean them then take them out and use some water and simply scrub them with a clean sponge that’s not been used for anything else (don’t use any that have been in contact with soap or cleaning supplies). If you need something a bit abrasive then use epsom or aquarium salts (NOT table salt!). There’s no need for bleach at all.
