wow thanks for such a speedy reply i was thinking it be a day or 2 b4 i got any tips. whats a prime bath pl?
Seachem Prime. It's a water conditioner that removes chlorine and chloramine from tap water. 1 cap treats 50 gallons so 1 cap in 2-3 gallons of water and the fake plants after you rinsed them, the. Leach doesn't stand a chance. Every once in a while I take the Holey Rock out of my tank and soak it in a 5 gallon bucket with a cup of pool chlorine for a day to make it bright white again, then soak it in fresh water with 2 caps of Prime. Used a chlorine test kit on the water and got 0 chlorine reading.

Believe it or not, denture cleaner (like efferdent) works very well on removing algae from plastic plants. Rinse plants well before putting them back in the tank.

I used to soak in hot water at beginning of wc the spray off at the end. Some apgae will remain but it's dead and will fall off in a day or two.
