oh i also forgot to mention that the person i got the tank from saw a spider in the tank and freaked out and sprayed it with lysol so i need to give the tank and decorations a good cleaning first and foremost i was thinking of doing a baking soda and vinegar scrub with a toothbrush (brand new of course:brows:) followed by a bleach/water solution followed by another baking soda and vinegar scrub with a rinse after will this be ok/good enough to remove the lysol spray and any other baddies in there?
