Help. I have used a rubbermaid container and an aquariun biofilter pump to
quarantine fish aquired at a show that ended up being sick (died) and were
being treated chemically. How do I prepare it for use again? My thoughts are
paracites, flukes and whatever else the problems were won't it stay in the
filter and tank, will it be transferred to the next fish? What is proper
proceedure for cleaning?




-- if you want to sterilize it 20PPM clorox solution, there is an 800
number on the clorox bottle you can call lto get the amount per 100
gallons add clorox three times with a day or two between doses


then let thouroly dry for a week,

this should kill 99% of all bacteria. and some of the viruses

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
