What to clean rubbermaid sump with?

[schneidts]

Well, I used to use this rubbermaid tub for a QT, but I'm going to do some "replumbing", and need to clean out the tub for use as a possible sump. What should I use? I don't want to use bleach...can I just use antibacterial soap if I rinse it out veraciously? Thanks in advance.

Use vinegar, works very well.

Ahh, vinegar, of course. Thank you; I will do that. Any other suggestions before I do?

However, Bleach used in a 3:1 (water:bleach) ratio is ok to clean with. It must be dried completely or washed again with a chlorimine remover. Never use any soap in a tank or its parts. you will never get all of the residue out.

Cool, thanks. I already went with the vinegar and it worked very well. I've always been skeptical of bleach, but I'd be o.k. with a diluted solution like that. Thanks for the help.
