How long after cleaning a fish tank can you use algae cleaner?
Bibblob2
In a proper filtered aquarium that is properly stocked and has completed the nitrogen cycle you should be doing 20% water changes once a week. In heavily planted and very lightly stocked tanks you may get away with once a fortnight. If you're keeping very messy fish such as Plecos or Goldfish then you may need to do twice a week!
In an unfiltered bowl you would need to do it several times a week, but no fish should be kept in an unfiltered aquarium unless you are following the Walstad Method, which is pretty complex and technical!

How do you remove the brownish green sludge from the scenery in a fish tank?
If the substance you are refering to is algae and the scenery is moveable you can simply remove the algae covered items and scrub them in clean water. If you are refering to an algae slime on the substrate then you can remove it simply by syphoning it into a container for disposal. If the algae is on plants then having a few algae eating fish species like plecostomus or mollys in there will help keep it under control. Excess algae is usually caused by too much light for too long.
