Proper cleaning of tank after wipeout???
Hi All,
I am new to the forum, I am looking for some advice on the proper way to clean / disinfect my tank after an unknown “something” wiped out all my fish.
My tank is just a small 6-gallon, one of those complete starter kits you get in a box. I had a black molly, and a couple red wags in it. I noticed one day the black molly had white slime all over it, ran to the local aquarium place and tried one those “cure-alls” that turned the water blue. Next morning both red wags were dead, followed shortly thereafter by the black molly. Thought it might be “ich”, but I’m not so sure.
There is now a black powdery substance on the plastic plants and rocks.
Long story short…. what is the best way to clean-up and start over? Do I take all the sand (Tahitian Moon sand), rocks, plants and ornaments and boil them, or … ????
Any help or advice is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Chris
