    i got a bucket from the attic and was wanting to make sure it is safe for my aquariums (mix water). the way i disenfected was

    used warm water
    dried
    vinegar
    dried
    warm water
    dried.

    was that good enough? or what else should i do?

    I just used 50/50 vinegar/water. Let dry out. Rinse once, the put it to use. This was a10g fish tank.

    eh...you let it dry then you used warm water. I'd think it should be fine to use.
