Whats the best way to disinfect a tank?

[Julia]

Regarding fish: You SHOULD have a second tank, a quarantine tank for the new fish, a 10 or 20 gallon is fine. Keep the new fish in this tank for two weeks to make sure they are healthy. Before buying new fish you need to treat the old ones. When looking for an effective ick medicine try to find products containing Malachite Green or Chelated Copper Sulfate, which can treat your water for up to a month.

If you worry about the cost of another tank then try looking at your local classifieds you can usually pick up a 10gallon for around 10 dollars.
