Tank sterilization

19 years ago

What is the best way to clean a tank & equipment after a fungus infection? I want to be sure the next occupant does not get any residual infection, we just lost a betta. Is a vinegar & water solution as effective as bleach? We used vinegar & water on all parts of the 6-gal tank, heater, thermometer, filter & gravel. We threw away the live plants, and are replacing the filter media & biowheel.

After restarting & cycling for 48 hours using Bio-spira and new plants, will the tank be safe to add a new betta?

Just want to offer him a safe environment. Is there a pretty good chance for recovery from these fungus infections if caught soon enough? This one happened so fast.

Thanks for your help.
