cleaning used tank

[fishnoob]

Just bought a used 46 bow front gal. What is best way to clean it? It doesn't look bad at all. I was thinking just water and scrub? But in case that don't work, what else to do? Thanks

If plain water doesn't work you can use vinegar and a nylon scrubbie. That's how I clean mine. Make sure you rinse well.

should i use a waterhose outside, or can i just bring it in and use my python to put water in and then suck it out and what not.

That's what I do. As long as you don't use any cleaning agent you should be fine.

which part do you do? water hose or python

Well I have a special hose for filling tanks. Then i normally just python it back out.
