90F kill all diseases?

[KMKN]

There are no fish in the tank at the moment but I'm preparing it for some new additions. So if i put the temp at 90F will all possible diseases and parasite be killed at this high temp? Don't worry fish won't be bought until Friday to Saturday and by Friday the temp will mostly be down to reg temp

I doubt it. If you want to rid it of all parasites and such, I suggest totally recleaning the tank. In fact I just did it a couple days ago, feels great.

How long has your tank been empty? What is the history of your tank (to be more precise, health issues of previous occupants)?

Not a chance

Actually alot of tropical keepers keep there tank temps around 90. Like peacock bass keepers and alot of characin keepers.

Why are you worried about disease with no fish?
And if you are getting ready to stock the tank I guess it is already cycled?

If its not being cycled with ammonia and you now you have a parasite pr disease problem then run some bleach thru the system. Do a 100% water change and don't add any dechlorinator and then pour in a few cups of bleach to raise the chlorine levels more then the tap water.

Let that run for a day and then do another 100% water change and add a triple dose of dechlorinator to the fresh water.

The tank was empty for week or 2 until today when someone put a wild bluegill which when i saw i took the bluegill out and ate him .Now I'm worried about the fish i am about to introduce in. The tank is currently empty but i want to kill any possible diseases introduce by the wild bluegill.There was also live plants in there a few days before the wild bluegill was in there.

Yes the tank is already cycled and has been set up since 2008

I would not worry too much. A lot of parasites cannot survive for a few weeks without a host.

The wild fish was just introduce today. Isn't there is mostly likely some other kinds of illness introduce?

An empty tank for a few weeks = uncycled tank again.

Unless you were feeding the bio filter with liquid ammonia?
