Anything special I should do to clean it. I know the rocks and sand base will have to go and plan to clean the filters and heaters in white vinegar. Any other thoiughts? Also, the last time I had an aquarium under gravel filters were the way to go. Is that still common or does eveyone just go with a gravel base. Thanks for the hepl.

Fpr a 75 gallon tank I woulld suggest a decent canister filter.UGF can be a pain in the butt as they keep getting clogged mickey 2009-01-17
