Hey all,

So yay, my tank for PZ has finally quit cycling!! That means I can move PZ to her tank, and bring Luau over (I am adopting him from Pufftastic) and put him in the 20 gallon. My problem is, is that I have a ton of algae in PZ's tank. Is there any effective way to get all of this out and gone, short of taking everything out and scrubbing it in old tank water. Also, if I do that, will I screw up the tank again because I am scrubbing the algae off, and the beneficial bacteria as well? Thanks for the help guys, as always. =)

Scrub everything & soak overnight in 20% bleach solution. Rinse well.

Thanks PP! LoL dumb question, but if it's 20 % solution, say, of 5 gallons, does that mean I need one gallon of bleach? That doesn't sound right, so I am hoping my math is just dumb and off. I did (.2 * 5)=1....lol but I suck at math. Also, do I just gravel vac the gravel really well?? Sorry, but thank you again!
