no the plants are real. sorry i reread my post. i should have said the "buckets" have alge growing on the side. brownish color alge.
i'm trying to wash the bucket.
I have no idea what dechlorinator is. and if i did when and to where would i add it? unless i should assume we are talking about fake plants before they are put in to the tank?? then i add it to the tank.
don't laugh guys. but is clorox bleach a detergeant? the lable on my bottle came off years ago. its the basic white bottle with a blue cap. I'll probly look it up on google but thought i'd just ask.
oh i just thought of another question. should i be worried about alge on the plants? and putting them back into the tank?
wow man i've bought fish books before. but you guys have knowlege on a whole different level. thanks guys.
