aquarium specific detergent

[Flikkitty11]

just wondering if anybody has an opinion on using aquarium detergent cos lots of the tanks i get are second hand and the most recent was really dirty and gross (hasn't been filled yet).
It was washed with salt to try to kill bacteria but i dont know if that is helpfull or not..
The only place i know supplies aquarium detergent was pets paradise at indooroopilly shopping center but it was a very expensive, tiny bottle and not used diluted so it wouldn't last long. Know any where i could get some cheaper/better value stuff?
thanks,
flik

Aquarium pharmaceuticals make a product called safe and easy comes in  "spray" and "wipes" can be used inside and outside of your aquarium

Hi,
Chlorine from the pool shop is a great sterilizer.

Then use a water conditioner/neutralizer to remove the chlorine from the tank.

Chlorine, bleach, salt condies crystals are all great, no hassles whatso eva............ detergents juss a waste of money!!!!!
Vinegar is also another good one, tequilla is gr8, but drink alittle firest then use the rest! :) :lol:
