We were given a 40 gallon tank with several fish.
The algae is gross. I am trying to clean it off stuff but it doesn't want to come off. Any suggestions?
Also we have water softener water. But when I test the water in the tank it says the water is hard... (but not out of the faucet so I know the softener is working) ..... Not so much an issue I don't think but puzzling.
The ph and alkalinity are High... Is there a way to change this w/o buying stuff at the store to fix it?
Also... What kind of salt do you stick in the tank (the fish store has it in every tank) ...
