HOW do you clean THIS?!

[koop171]

I need to clean the overflow box on my 585 but it is caked in this salt/algea. I have tried the good old vinegar and water. With a little elbow grease on the side. But to no real results. I was wondering if there was an easier way to clean this crap.

The box is glass with sheets blue acylic (I think) covering the glass. I cannont remove it b/c the box if firmly siliconed to the tank wall.

PLZ let there be an easrier way to clean this.

Bleach in a fish tank??

Vinegar and water with a scraper should get it off..

For hard stains I use bleach, but I make sure to rinse it over and over and over...and then over again to make sure. I haven't lost a fish in any of those tanks

It is way too early to be that drunk. You must have either gone straight to the hard stuff or the recreational stuff.

If it's on acrylic, don't use bleach... it will eat into the plastic.

A good scraper will take that off for you.
