What not to do!
 

Seems like I alway's have a brain fart every year when it comes to my tank. last year some of you may remember the paint in the tank thing :lol: :rolleyes:

Anyway just a head's up.

I recently made some DIY rock and I put it in the spare bathroom's bathtub to cure it because the water changes would be easy. Well the water change thing was easy but I took the rock out yesterday and there is a thick layer of calcium sandpaper crust on the tub. The same kinda thing that bung's up your inpeller's on pump's and powerheads.

Anyway comet dosent work at all so I emptied a gallon of Vinegar into the tub and kept putting some on the side of the tub. It took a few hours of going back every few minutes and alot of scrubing to get it off but it's done.

Once again, just a heads up :silly:

Almost caused alot of this :agrue: but I got it off and now i'm an :angel:

Buddy of mine cured his in the tank and had a helluva time getting it off the glass

Cheers

For cleaning the tub I woulden't have waisted the time using vinager.. CLR works awsome for stuff like that.

I figured so but I am too cheep to go buy clr when I had the vinegar allready :lol:

Glad to hear it all worked out for you in the end Jonathan. Where did you get your recipe for the rock, I have been thinking this would be a fun project for the kids plus I need a little more rock.
Talk to you later,
Kelly

CLR is HORRIBLE for the environment! Bad, Bad Steve! :razz:

Oh Oh ... we woke up a tree hugger ROFLMAO ... j/k > christy :smile:

Cheers

Hey kelly,
I kinda just looked on the web and made it up.
1 part cement to 5 to 6 part's oyseter shells and one scoop of sand. once I got made the rock I threw sand all over it so now my rock is white instead of grey.

cheers

While I pry myself off the nearest tree to write this. I find it interesting that we will do all this for our fish tanks yet, nothing for the ones in our part of the ocean :wink:

Excellent .... Thanks Jonathan. Where did you get oyster shells from?
