How to clean tank with heat pad?

[Pyrate81]

Maybe what you could do is make a bleach solution in a spray bottle, spray your empty aquarium and wipe clean. Then spray with water and wipe dry. You'll probably want to clean with water that until the bleach smell is gone, and let it air out for a bit.

That way you won't have to move it all the way to the tub.

For my large tanks I just had a spray bottle with 10% bleach solution. I first sprayed with just water to get little bits of dirt/ substrate out and wiped clean. Then sprayed with the bleach solution and I had a little brush to get in the corners and any nooks and crannies. Let sit for 10 minutes, wipe out, and do a couple spray rinses with plain waiter and wipe dry. Then air it out for about 10 minutes or until there is no more bleach smell.

x3 on this. However, I used simple green as my cleaner instead of bleach.

Scoop out the aspen or whatever, vacuum out the dust and small remnants, then use the liquid. Wipe it dry and let the air do the rest for about 10 minutes.
