I scald any furniture with really hot tap water that isn't treated then dry the items by wiping them down then s ald with treated tap water and dry completely again. I do not like to use harsh chemicals on any wood or fake plants. There are some natural products out their that can be used, but I've tried some and didn't like them. I use Wipe Out 1 for tank cleaning.

Collen/Jerrod,

Do you also scald the tank with hot untreated water prior to using Wipe Out 1? I was wondering because I don't want my tank to shatter... The instruction for the furniture are spot on, but for the tank itself prior to using Wipe Out 1, what do you do to it?

Yes, I rinse every out as thoroughly as possible first before applying the Wipe Out 1. Be sure not to get the UTH wet. The tank would have to be very cold for the hot water to crack or shatter the glass - which it shouldn't be if the enclosure temps are in the right range.

You're welcome! We are here to help! The purpose of this forum is to share knowledge, so that is what we strive to do. These are amazing creatures and they deserve the best chance to live long healthy lives. So we do what we can to help them (and their keepers!). We were all rookies at some point. The important thing is to seek knowledge and learn.

Oh i thought you could remove the UTH before every monthly cleaning? You don't remove it then? I figured doing this will eventually remove the adhesive but I thought I had to detach it from the tank..

No! Once the UTH is in place it is to remain for the duration of its life.
