Trailblazur Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Do you spend much time trying to clean them out? Sterilize them? What's your process⁉️ Especially if they are bigger ones that are difficult to maneuver🤔🤔🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepere Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Brand new, never used? rinse with fresh water wipe down with a paper towel, and dry off with more paper towels or cloth if you prefer… so long as there is no oily type residue…. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scapexghost Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 This is one of those things i know i should do, but don't. I don't clean out new aquariums before using them. I've never had an issue before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLFishChik Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Brand new aquarium- I just wipe down the inside with damp paper towel and fill to check for leaks. used aquarium- (I’m a bit overly cautious- especially if I don’t know the health or condition of the fish previously kept in them) clean with a drop or two of dawn dish soap, rinse, rinse, rinse. Then spray down with white vinegar solution and let sit for a few minutes, then rinse, rinse, rinse. Then leak test. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only wipe if they are dusty, not that I get brand new very often Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
