Obtaining a used aquarium off craigslist is a great way to save a ton of money on your next setup. However, you always run the risk of getting a tank that is extremely dirty or worse, leaks! Here we show you how to clean up a used tank and prepare it for a new set up.

 

     We use an aquarium safe cleaning solution of vinegar and water as well as a razor blade to help remove unwanted stains and dried algae. Don’t be afraid of using a little elbow grease when it comes to the cleaning process, you will end up thanking yourself when you have more money to spend on decorations, fish and plants!
