Aquarium Advice Addict
i have a 10gal tank that's been sitting and i would like convert it to a dirt tank that will serve as a nursery for some of my plants. Previously the tank housed some fish that died of internal parasite. I can always throw a gallon of bleach into it and do a complete clean out. but it's too harsh and might ruin my nusery plan. Is there another way sanitize/clean but not as harsh? would soap or detergent work? I want to get rid of any parasite or harmful critters in the tank.
ps. there's no snails or anything but water. i'm mostly concerned with the parasites that might have been lurking around in the substrate since they're microscopically small.
