Got it from a friend. Apparently it's older than I am. It has calcium buildup and the bottom is pretty nasty from never being cleaned after it was used. What should I do to clean it? I heard the best way is to get a scrubbing pad and use a lot of salt and vinegar. What's the best way to test if it holds water or needs to be re-caulked? I know, fill it up, but still what if it needs to be re-caulked? I have never done that before.
The tank is 13" by 13" and 18.5" height. It came with a hood, power filter, and undergravel filter.Should I use those if I could, or should I buy new filters? I want to put some cherry shrimp, a few bamboo shrimp, and maybe a few snails in the tank along with fish that I haven't decided on (something that's not hard to come by, perhaps!).
