Re: Tank Question

Yeh, the problem with that is the residue from some cleaners can be absorbed by the siliconrubber sealant that's used to construct the tank. Best thing is to give it a good flushing with water and sit it out in the sun for a day. The higher temps. will help any leftover cleaners volatilize out of the sealant. I honestly NEVER use any house hold cleaners on my tanks. The only thing I use is something called Quatricide. It's a cleaner disinfectant that sold by BigApple Herp supply that's made for use with animals. Even with that though, I'm very careful to make sure the tank is rinsed out VERY well and dried before reintroducing any critters.
