I'm about to move my moor and fantail to a larger tank. The one I've got is
only a 10gal one so I've now got a 25 gal one, 2nd hand. Although the
previous owner swears he's had no disease in the tank, I'm not taking any
chances, so I want to make sure it's thoroughly disinfected. What is the
best way to do this? And also, if I use bleach to clean it, where do I find
a good dechlorinator bearing in mind I'm in the UK?
TIA

I'd wash the tank with bleach and then just keep rinsing until the smell has
completely gone.
As for dechlorinator, I'm in the Uk and use Aquasafe which has always worked
well for me.
