imsweet Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 Our new tank used to be a marine set up, What would be the best way to clean it for fresh-water use? And what to use? Also cleaning of the filter. Bearing in mind the sun wont be out for a few days :lol: I think i have the cycling sussed, use the existing water, un-washed stones & filter. And add the tough little guppies that live in my tank at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 A good scrub out with salt and warm water :lol: Just scrub the filter out thoroughly and it will be fine - unless it had disease problems. If you already have a tank set up then hang the filter on it for a few weeks to cycle. Easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
