Reuse QT tank

[clarity1981]

I have a Fluval Evo 13 that I used to quarantine a few fish under CP. I now want to use it as a frag QT. What steps would you use to clean the tank in preparation? I'm going to get new media, but other than that.....

Use some dish soap and wash the residue on glass, then rinse a couple times.

I try not to use soap around my tank, had a very bad experience. CP is a great medication that breaks down under light. I would just wash the tank with vinegar, than let it sit with fresh water for a few days. Would feel very safe doing it this way.

Great, thanks. Wanted to get some frags at reefapalooza next week and was worried it wouldn't be ready.

Bleach, rinse, rinse, rinse, and dry to remove biofilm;
Vinegar, rinse, rinse, rinse, to precipitate copper residue into a harmless form;
Hydrogen Peroxide, rinse, rinse, rinse, to completely remove any doubt about removing any nasty disease, infection or parasite, like uronema, velvet, etc.
