Just a few clarification questions: you use this product on the interior of your tank? What is the process for using the product? (drying time, etc.)

I own an aquarium cleaning and maintenance service, I use this stuff all the time and If I have to clean the inside of a tank with it, I let it dry for about 24 hours just to make sure that it's okay. These fish or whatever else we have are very sensitive creatures. Also I have found that the "Viva" paper towels used with this help the cleaning process a lot more than other towels.

I have only used it on the exterior. An Alger brush is best for the interior when the tank is full. Any chemicals can harm the fish. It works great on the exterior and keeps down dust and little fingerprints.

Good afternoon Jadi!The product is actually used on the outside of the tank. You simply spray it on and wipe before it begins to dry. You should buff the glass or acrylic afterward to make sure there are no smears. (Use a soft cloth.) Don't worry-instructions are on the bottle.Hope this helps.Roxanna

It's for the exterior of your tank. It polishes and gives a nice smooth surface. It protects against future water spots and stains.

Hi, this product is used to clean the outside of a tank! Not the interior. If you are preparing a new tank for use, your best bet is to use white vinegar, it will not harm any fish you put in. If you have a saltwater tank, never use windex to clean the interior or exterior, it contains ammonia and will kill fish. This product is safe to use to clean your glass.

You use it on the outside of the tank. Spray it on and use a paper towel or micro towel to wipe it off.

I mix it with water and use as a bead lube when mounting. Works great and wipes off easily with wet rag. Drying out has not been a problem

I just finished my first bottle. I went through my boat 2.5 times with it. (22 ft bowrider with a load of white vinyl) As a conditioner, protectant and lite cleaner it works great. If things are really dirty get ready to use alot of elbow grease. I found that using a magic eraser for heavily soiled spots works best and then follow up with the 3M product my boats interior is holding up great. The protectant and conditioning properties of the product are great!!!!!

We soak the sprayer part in a bowl of boiling water. Dry sprayer piece thoroughly. I don't clean the inside of the tank. I use soapy sponge to wipe/clean outside of tank. Mine is rarely empty which is why I don't clean inside of tank.

Well Clyde, I usually let it dry overnight and have had great luck by doing so. I'm usually never in a hurry, so I do this and have had great success with it. Good luck and hope you enjoy doing business with Amazon as I do. JB

I've been adding about five to ten drops into the tank every refill. I've been doing this for three months. Just make sure you clean the tank and base at least once a week. Use vinegar and warm water to clean both. By the way, I've only needed to use five drops of young living essential oils since these oils are highly potent.

I used a RV type scrub brush for the rubber cleaner available in camping or department stores. I used a sponge mop to apply the protectant sealer. It was easy, fast, and worked wonderfully. Of course weather conditions determine the drying time, but it dries very fast. I think I allowed an hour or so after the cleaning and the sealer dries very fast - while your applying (it in small 3 foot sections) you can see the previous section drying while working on the next. I believe it recommended 24 hours before rain, so check weather. Apply at least two coats sealer (wait about 3 hours after first) - Great Product!

Hi Barbara,That's is perfectly fine. We are improving and transitioning to a new packaging which comes in new dry form.Once you soak the sponge in the water, it will become very softHow to care for this new dry type is the same. Once you are done using the sponge, squeeze out all access water and hang it to dry in a dry area.Once every 2 weeks, we recommend sanitizing by either putting it in boiling water for 1-2 min or putting it in a bowl of water and microwave it for 1:30 minIf you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us at info@mykonjacsponge.com.

Definitely rinse it out or you'll get a black film on everything in the aquarium. I've tried it both ways and rinsing is definitely the way to go. Also all the good stuff is in every bit of the sand so no worries about losing anything important. I think this is the best substrate I've ever had it looks great and the Cory cats and other fish love to play in it. Good luck with set up.

I had one for 2 years - never had to clean inside. I do use a liquid that is specially for humidifiers that keeps the white stuff down - add a little to water when I refill the tank. when you are ready to store - drain all the water out. I do put a little vaseline on the rubber ring to keep it from drying out.

I used it to clean out a motorcycle tank during the summer and I cleaned the tank the best I could before filling the tank. I also let the tank sit in a 90 degree workshop for a full week shaking the tank every day. When I was finished the liquid had turned black but the metal was clean. I immediately dried out the tank and coated it with a commercial coating. I did not have to do any rubbing or sanding.

Drying time was about an hour, depending on temperature, I did this in the summer and it was quick, also did many layers so it was an all day job. Did this for the doors, also put few layers of the FatMat insulation on, it might smell a little but once it dries and put doors on , no more smell

I clean it everyday and let it dry. no problem yet. it doesn't take much good oil in this as it vapors quickly .

I seem to get questions, all the time, about this product that I purchased some time ago. I 'm certainly not an expert on it. I can tell you that I refrigerated my bottle and would bring it to room temperature before using it. I had it for quite a while since it is used in small amounts. I never suffered any ill effects from it.

Just in a cool dry place. Kitchen cabinet works. It's oil, so it won't evaporate like a normal liquid.

They recommend hot water, however, I have left it in before and it still cleans very well. The water would be cold of course but it is a spot cleaner so there is no way you can use up the tank every time and to me it was a huge waste of money to dump it. Good for them though because it would mean selling a ton of cleaning solution.
