how do you clean out a tank if you dont have mites and such.
I had pine bark, and am cleaning it all out of the tank, but I dont want to use any cleanser or anything if it will be harmful.
so...plain water or dishsoap?

I think dishsoap would be a good idea to get any residual pine oils off the glass. Just rinse it really well and let it air out a bit afterwards. Should be fine.

Re: more tank questions
if anyone is still here, if I am using aspen shavings, should I mist it to help retain moisture, or is a not so good if they get wet?

i used to mist aspen to boost up the humidity. IMO repti-bark works better for retaining humidity though.

ok...I ran into another question.
my fiancee says "any reason not to use tin foil instead of plastic wrap".
