How can I clean these shells?
We had a fish aquarium and we decided to put some shells in. After we did that, the whole fish tank become full of algae..which was weird because we ave 3 algae suckers. We were told it was because of the shells, the shells are from salt water and our aquarium is regular water, so it made it all algae-y.
One of the shells was a big conch shell, it’s all brown and green on one side, ow can I take this off without ruining the shell?
Bleach and water solution will work. Scrub the shells and rinse well. Then dip the shells in water prepared using your dechlor to neutralize any remaining chloramates. Safe for the tank.
Sea Shells can be used in fresh water just as a warning it will raise your PH level in the tank drastically. The shells could have introduced minerals and phosphates which will make algae grow. This is a sign however of a healthy tank.
You can run phosphorus pads to remove any excess phosphorus from the tank. These pads can piggyback on your regular filter pads. It will not clear over night but within a few weeks there will be no more algae. Unfortunately or anything for your algae eaters either. Give the fish time to catch up with the growth. Keep the sides scraped and remove the bulk by hand
