harvin6 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 hi , you should clean your tank with vinegar and soak all its wet equipment in vinegar before using it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solo77 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Just do normal washing. For freshwater to marine, easy. Reverse will require more efforts.
