Tank Cleaning

Lazor1 Feb 19, 2004 11:40 AM

I was wondering what some of you may use to eliminate tank odors?
After awhile a foul smell accumilates that doesnt want to go away. Any suggestions on what rids the smell?

How often do you clean the tank and what are you using for substrate?

I clean mine out every second day if not every day for the girls tank (5 girls end up pooping quite a bit LOL). I also use ceramic tile for substrate and have papertowels down where i've taught my girls to go to the washroom. When i do a thorough cleaning of the tanks i use a bleach/water solution (1:10 ratio), rince it out very well and allow it to sit for a couple of days.
