    Default SANITIZE

    I would like to sanitize my canister filter that has been running in a tank with a sick fish. How do I sanitize the canister filter? Hope to hear from you guys?

    you will have to use bleach mixed with water to fully sterilize it. you will also need to sterilize the tank that you were using that filter in unless that fish is still there and you plan on keeping it in that tank. i forget the dilution for the beach:water ratio, sorry

    Hello,

    You can try to run a strong PP solution for 24 hrs with all the equipments, rinse with HOT water, let it dry for a few days and restart your tank.

    HTH,

    Also, get all new media for the filter.
