Hi all,
A friend heard I was getting into aquascaping and gave me his old aquarium a 110l jewel tank. He mentioned it could be a nursery tank, so wasn't expecting such a large tank and cabinet - so huge bonus!
I've tried to give it a quick clean but some of the algae is super stubborn - its resisting the kitchen sponge scourer. I don't want to scratch the glass, my friend suggested it was already scratched - but with that much stubborn algae its hard to tell.
Has anyone had any tips on how best to scrub up the tank?
I plan on getting a new pump / filter - as the one that was in is super manky and I can hide an external filter in the cabinet. I also plan on removing the remains of the background rock effect tile - the old back of the tank glass looks pretty pristine.
