Cleansing Fish aquarium that had lizard in it for fish

[LokiKiku]

A while back I wanted to give my Leopard Gecko a larger aquarium so i put it in my empty 38 Gal. Fish Aquarium now I got rid of it and want to use it as a breeder tank but I'm not sure just using hot water and scrubbing at it with a rag will work so that it will be healthy enough for the fish. Does anyone know if I can use anything to cleanse it to make it safe for fish again? The lizard had a good layer of bark under its feet and I never used Chemicals to clean the tank while the lizard was living in it.

QFT. Scrub it with vinegar and rinse with hot water and you'll be good to go.

chlorine bleach.....and rinse a TON.

I chlorine bleach every tank I get second hand. Kills everything I don't want in the tank.

Unless you were using some type of chemical. All you need to do is rinse it out.
