    Default Tank cleaning

    We are preparing our tank for selling and I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions on removing the purple algae that seems near impossible to get off. There is no water in the tank right now.

    Thanks, Lisa

    Getting out for now. We just don't have the time for it anymore. We have a 90 gallon aquarium if anyone is interested. I'm in the process of cleaning it up right now.

    A razor blade will make quick work of coralline algae.
