    Bleach will kill bacteria and other pathogens, but what you are dealing with is most likely mineral deposits. You will need something like CLR to take it off, but before you try it let John chime in on this, as he has a PhD in chemistry.

    it really looks like mold to me, the kind that gets under the caulking in your bathroom, its basically the same as that, under the silicone in all the corners. the white stuff on the black plastics could definitely be mineral deposits tho. I probably will try CLR on it.

    Since it's in underneath the Silicone, you will have a hard time getting it out without removing the silicone. Aside from that, to remove mineral deposits and kill mould, use vinegar and some elbow grease.

    That's an awesome tank you have there, good luck finding a lid for that. I think that design and shape would make it difficult to find something to cover it with. Anyways, good luck with the project. Keep us updated!

    well im actually making a lid out of the one that came with it, its an aquarium lid, so I cut large squares in it, and will be using screening to cover them. im just wondering what the best method of attaching the screen to the hard plastic would be, while still letting it look nice. i think ill glue it on the inside, so you cant see the glue from the top.

    I'd say you'll be ok if you give it a good rub with vinegar.
