MartyM Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 Hey People Just bought a second hand tank and need to know the best cleaning product to use to clean out the tanks and filter gear just in case there is any nasty stuff in there.

MartyM Posted May 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 AS in salt mixed with warm or cold water? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 As in salt dissoved in water till you can't dissolve any more. In other words, a saturated solution. Leave it 24 hours in the bottom and occassionally wash the sides. As Caryl says, wash well when finished. Alan 104 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caryl Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 Sorry, I should have been more specific. I dump a handful or 2 of salt in the tank then wet the salt just enough to then cup it in my hand and wipe the surfaces with it. It sticks. Scrub with it making sure you get into the corners too then rinse well. Take the tank outside, tip it over so the top is facing downwards then blast it with the garden hose until it is clear of salt residue.
