Should I Use This Tank??

[kaholic]

My brother gave me a 20 gallon I was going to use as a sump BUT....my niece had a rabbit in it. I'm not worried so much about that but I am concerned about the chemicals that were used to clean it over the years: Windex, etc... Should I just get rid of it or should it be ok to use? Thanks in advance for the help!

I wouldn't risk it. But if you do clean it really well. I think some people advocate a small amount of bleach in the water. Then you need to rinse the heck out of it till no more bleach.

i had a 40 gallon hex seal dry up and when i put my old oscar in the tank it sprung a leak leaving him to die in an inch of water

Thanks for the advice. I don't think it's worth the risk. I believe I will just buy a new sump. Thanks again!
