This is my method of removing the algae from my plastic plants in my tank. This method might work even for silk plants just be sure to get the bleach smell out of the plants.

THIS IS A MIRACLE!!! I was genuinely pricing ultrasonic washers and trying to decide if it would just be cheaper to get new aquarium decor, and then found this and ... *angels singing* ... everything looks brand new. Thank you!

What is it with people and their disgusting comments. Why dont you just take the advice. 1 thing i hate about youtube is that people can say what the hell they want and not get kicked of the site, or get reported. Like on facebook. As if you look better. Stop breaking people down., and keep your nasty comments to yourself. Thanks for your advice. Im gonna try it out. Thumbs up for your advice. And i enjoyed your video. 👍

I can agree with you on a few points, hate comments aren’t good and people shouldn’t be so hateful. But removing someone from KZread because of something they said is very wrong. We should promote free speech regardless of the subject.

I would recommend if your going to use bleach I would rinse really well then put back in the container with some water and good dose of seachem prime and shake well and rerinse again to make sure the bleach is completely gone.

The bleach treatment works great! I had to upscale it quite a bit but I'm amazed how well it got rid of all the alga, black and green from all my aquarium items. I used a container big enough to hold all my aquarium items with hot water and 1 cup of bleach, shaking for the count of ten then letting it set for ten minutes, then checking again and rpeating three times, but I'm amazed at the results. Of course, I then rinsed off the aquarium items and bathed them in tap water, three times to make sure all the bleach was gone and reinstalled. Looks great. Thanks a lot for the bleach idea! Better living through chemistry!
