nicmack Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 I have been using an Aqua one 980 as a hospital tank unfortunately I lost the patients, I am wondering how I go about sterilizing the tank as meds were being used and Iam going to turn it back into a community tank - do I need to clean out the ceramic noodles - what can I wash the tank itself with as the fish lost all their body slime ..... will the filter need a good clean out as well ?

Caryl Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 I would clean out everything. The noodles can be boiled and the tank washed out and scrubbed with salty water. Rinse well afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicmack Posted May 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 Thanks Caryl does it need to be a strong solution of salty water, do I just rinse and rinse afterwards to make sure all traces of the salt are gone? and then let the tank cycle again afterwards ?

Caryl Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 I throw a handful of plain salt in then a good rinse to get rid of all the salt. Doesn't actually take much rinsing to get rid of it as it is a bare tank so nothing for it to get into. Then cycle the tank afterwards.
