I bought an aquarium and all the accessories (fake plants, hiding spots, gravel, filter, etc) at a church sale for literally 50 cents. The only thing is is that the aquarium is a bit dirty. It needs to be cleaned. What's the best way to clean it? I was thinking maybe soaking it in vinegar, but my mom said that that might be too strong. She suggested salt. I don't know what's best. It's got some stuff stuck to it, so it does need some work, but I thought it was a good deal since they're a lot more expensive new. Also, should I use the gravel it came with, or get new stuff (what's the best way to clean it?)? I'd actually like some river rocks, but if I can use what it came with, I'd rather do that. lol. Plus, do I really need a filter for a couple of Dwarf Frogs? They can get stuck in them, right? Any other advice would be great. Thanks a lot!
