I am restarting my 20g tank. I've had nothing but problems lately - the latest being a dino (LCA) outbreak that I have been dosing silicates for the last few months for. My tank needs a fresh start- so I am planning to move all my fish/coral/inverts to a temporary tank along with the rocks and a bit of sand for my pistol shrimp. I have ordered all new rock and sand. Basically, I plan to completely empty my 20g and fill it with freshwater as I heard this kills dinos. let it run for a few days like that, then empty and clean it out, let it dry for a few more days, and begin a new cycle with the new rocks and sand.
What kind of cleaning should I do to my empty tank besides freshwater? What is safe to use to clean it?
