Removal and Decontamination

• 1). Prepare your workspace by taking all decor to be cleaned, as well as cleaning agents, bucket and test kit out of doors. This will prevent the chlorine bleach from discoloring floors or furniture inside the home.
  
  
• 2). Pour four gallons of water into a 5-gallon bucket . Add 2 cups of chlorine bleach, or 1/2 cup for every gallon of water used.
  
  
• 3). Place decorations into the bucket and allow to soak for 10 to 15 minutes or until algae has fallen off.
  
  
• 4). Remove ornaments from bucket. Dispose of bleach solution and rinse bucket extremely well.
  
  
• 5). Fill bucket with warm water. Place decorations into the bucket. Treat with dechlorinator as directed by product's packaging.
  
  
• 6). Using a chlorine level test kit designed for use in swimming pools, test bucket's chlorine levels. Dechlorinator may need to be used multiple times in order to achieve a zero chlorine level.
  
  
• 7). Place decor back into the aquarium. Add dechlorinator to the tank as directed by the product's packaging.
