The cave is made from aquarium-safe plastic that is inert and will not leach harmful chemicals or alter your tank's water parameters. Simply rinse it thoroughly with clean water before placing it in your aquarium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eQ: How do I clean and maintain this fish tank hideout shelter?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: Remove the cave from the tank periodically and rinse it under warm running water. Use a soft brush to remove any algae build-up from the tunnel openings. Avoid soap or chemical cleaners, as residue can be harmful to aquatic life.
