I treated my fish for ich for a few days, and used malachite green medication. The sealant in my tank is now stained – is there a way to unstain the sealant?
Unfortunately, malachite green and methylene blue will do that. The color will fade over time. There is no way to get rid of it except to wait. Top • About 1 1/2 weeks ago I set up my 55 gallon freshwater tank. The tank had been empty for 5 or six years but was cleaned out before being stored in a spare bedroom. About 4 or 5 days after I set it up I started getting almost symetrical looking horizontal white lines going down the inside of the aquarium. What are they and how do I get rid of them? That is calcium carbonate which has hardened on the sides of the tank. It was already there but wasn’t visible until it reacted with the lime in the tap water. You need to drain the tank, and empty it completely. Use either Python Rydit Lime Remover, or a strong white vinegar, and soak the glass in it, then scrub well, and rinse thoroughly before setting up the tank again.
