Best way to clean nets?

[Arizonagrace]

What is the best way to clean nets, gravel cleaner, etc., when dealing with multiple tanks? I have one tank with ick and do that tank last. I also rinse everything in very hot water for a minute before using on another tank.

I would like to know the best way to deal with cleaning these to avoid contaminating other tanks. Thank you.

If worried about contamination I'd use a mild bleach solution to dip in between tanks and of course rinse well.

I don't have a fishroom, or large amounts of tanks unfortunately (only 3), so what I do is just have separate sets of net and gravel vacs that I use on my smaller tanks, which I generally use as hospital or quarantine.

personally I'd use different equipment for that just to stay safe

seperate equipment for seperate tanks is the best way then you don't have to worry about cross cotamination

Net soak works well.

Net soak works well.

Definitely the cheaper route.

It's probably over kill, but I've been using about 1 gallon hot (sometimes boiled) water to 1 or 2 cups rock salt. I remember hot salt water was used as net soak at the store I worked at long ago. Bleach sloution after rinsing is fine. Use that on the python/gravel vacs once in a while.

I hesitate using bleach, but if that is a good way, I can try it. I do have 2 gravel vacs and multiple nets, so maybe I should use one vac for contaminated tanks and one for the others.

I have used both seperate equipment for each tank and a bleach dip.
