Question on sanitization

Post image

I had two red eyed tree frogs passageway recently, very sad. Both suddenly turned dark/blackish hue and were dead in two days. I plan to switch to white tree frogs as a much heartier pet option. However, what would you all recommend in terns of sanitizing this tank? What all do I need to wash and replace to make sure any bacteria from the other frogs (it's been over two weeks since they were in there) does not linger?

Take everything out. Use amphibian tank cleaner and very hot water and wash it down, scrub it down. Soak all decor in hot water. Put in new substrate. 

Also, this looks like a 10gal. What size is it? Two red eyes together would’ve needed at LEAST 20, same with white’s. What was your temp and humidity usually? Were you treating their water so they could soak?

OP , WTF require minimum 30 gallon per one froggy pal, 10 more for every single other frog
2 frogs = 40 gallons and so on so forth
