Cleaning aquarium?

[turbonerd]

i found an old aquarium in my garage. i want to know if i can still clean it and how to check the seals? how would i go about cleaning the aquarium out. im pretty sure it was used as a freshwater setup because there is gravel in there with a undergravel filter.

Easiest way to clean it is to use a light detergent and wash it out with your water hose. To check the seals, just fill it up and leave it outside overnigh to see if it leaks.

thanks. it should be ok to use right? i think its only a 30 gal. not sure. how do i find out what the volume is? isn't there a formula to use?

volume = lenght x width x height
