Scrape the glass with a single-edge razor blade. Use vinegar to remove the lime-scale and Windex or other glass cleaner to finish it off. Rinse it well and fill it to test it for leaks outside. If it is old, the joints may be leaking.

Will it hurt your mosquito fish or pond snails if you clean out your old dusty aquarium with dish soap while they are not in it?
It is OK to use a detergent when cleaning (scrubbing) out a dirty fish tank. The important thing is to make very sure the tank is scrubbed with clean water a couple of times after the detergent has been rinsed out. Any detergent left in the tank could easily kill your fish.
What is the green slime growing on your fish tank?
That sounds like my tank. If you have a filter then you need to replace or clean it on a regular basis. You may need to remove the fish from the tank and clean it. If you do then take some water from the tank that the fish are in and put it in another container. Take the fish out of their tank and put them in their old water in the new container. Drain all the old water out of the tank and rinse/wash all the rocks, gravel, plants, and other things that were in the tank. Wash the walls of the tank. Make sure that you rinse any soap off of the tank and the rocks and stuff before you put new water back in it. Fill the tank with clean water. You may need to treat the water for chlorine if you used city tap water. Do not put the fish back into the tank until the new water temperature is the same as the water they are in now. We don't want them to go into shock. You may want to buy a sucker fish and a couple of snails. They will eat the alge that grows on the glass and everything else. Good luck. I have to go clean my tank. Thanks for reminding me.
How do you cure ich on your fish?
you can buy water treatment for it at a petstore, when you buy it, put all the fish in a new jar or tank with fresh water with the ich ointment in it the same temperature as the old tank and make sure to filter the water so there is no chlorine, and put the fish in that, them dump the old tank out and clean everything with some kind of safe natural cleaner and rinse the hell out of it, then put the fish back in it, and use common sense. please..
How many days after you want clean fish tank filter?
Normally you don't really need to clean the filter unless the flow is too low. If this is the case, you will want to rinse any filter media in a clean bucket of old tank water. Do not rinse filter media in tap water as this will kill off all your good bacteria for your tank.
Does it effect Betta fish if you change the fish from a regular tank to a filter tank?
Betta fish will not be harmed if they are in a filtered tank. If the new tank is about the same size as the old tank you should use the old water or most of it in the new tank. If the new tank is larger so you have to add lots of new water then you should fill the new tank with the new water and let it sit (preferably with the filter running) for two or three days before adding the fish. Also when you move the fish make sure the new tank is at the same temperature as the old tank.

How can I clean the mold off an old shower?
Any cleaning product that contains bleach will work to clean up mold. Clorex clean up is always a good choice. Just spray it on and let it set about 5 minutes and then wipe clean. It may take a few applications depending on how much mold you have. Finally, use rubber gloves in a well ventelated area for saftey.
Are sucker fish hard to take care of?
No, they are very hardy and there should be one in every tank. they simply feed on algae that grows naturally and will keep your glass clean. They also get very big when they get old but won't hurt other fish.
