Sanitizing a new tank?

[smuv]

What is the best solution/cleaner to disinfect and sanitize my tank before putting my new BP into it?

[rex322]

10% bleach/water solution

Clean with hot soapy water

Disinfect w/ either a bleach water solution or even better (because it's reptile safe and you don't have to worry about it being dry like bleach) is to disinfect with Nolvasan (aka Virosan).

There is a difference between cleaning and disinfecting and you need to do both. For more info:
