The first step is cleaning the tank bottom. Dona't skip this important step, because the glass of the aquarium looks clean. Use a mild detergent in hot water tank RUB. Rinse the tank thoroughly to completely remove all traces of the debris and detergent. Emptying the tank cleaning several times with fresh water to ensure that no traces of detergent left behind.

When you're ready to add fish to their new tank try adding a few at a time. YouÂ'll take home the bank in a plastic bag filled with water.
