STERILZING YOUR FISH NETS

[sushiray]

How do you keep your nets sterilized?

excluding those who have a net for each tank (I don't).

I keep 2 for one tank but when the tank gets some sickness I try to sterilize in hot salted water, then add prazipro for some prevention.

But I welcome other ideas suggestions recommendations, thx all.

If you let it dry out completely, all the bad bugs will be killed, including ich.

I just use a weak solution of bleach and water.

I have this nice large blue net that I used for catching Japanese beetles, and some beetle juice and goo went on it. Seriously. I might sterilize it or buy a new one.

Potassium Permanganate would be my choice. A nice pink solution will work better than bleach, and will not hard the bio-filter.

weak bleach or hydrogen peroxide solution.

Hmm, Never thought of this, I just let mine air dry.

I do have some nets I use in only certain tanks, but others I use in all my tanks..

bleach....probably not as weak as most people would suggest to use it though.
