Aquarium Advice Regular
Hi. I have a 20 gal tank that I had fish in it. Then suddenly, my fish just suddenly died. It looks like the filter exploded because the tank was entirely cloudy. He was fine, clear water and everything last night, and when I went to feed it, dead, white spots and such.
Well, Im afraid something DID get into the tank, chemicals, and since the filter exploded, I dont want to just do a water change and add new fish.
I want to give it an ultra clean out.
My question is, what's the best way to go about it? Im prepared to cycle the tank after its cleaned, fearing the ecosystem in the tank is destroyed (After 15+ years).
What should I use? boiling hot water, scrub and rinse? Some sort of bleach? suggestions please? And is iodized salt good for cleaning it?
