    Re: What do you clean your tanks/cages with?

    After doing some research, I found the cheapest & safest is vinegar & hydrogen peroxide. It is not supposed to be mixed, so I have it in 2 different spray bottles.

    Hibiclins (otherwise known as chlorhexidine gluconate 4%) undiluted for the monthly cage cleaning. Between cleanings I just use hot water.

    Re: What do you clean your tanks/cages with?

    For daily cleanings I use 2% Chlorhexidine Gluconate mixed with distilled water. The solution is changed every 3 days. For a good cleaning I use bleach mixed with water then rinse well.
