Ideas to clean a plastic drum to make it fish safe - 11/19/09 02:47 AM
I'm working on a project where I need to use a plastic drum as a clarifier for a large tank. The tank has a soapy odor to it but does not produce any more sudze after adding water. (There seemed to be just a little at first). After several rinses the soapy odor remains.
Other than steam cleaning does any one have any ideas? I have it setting outside in the rain (the top is cut out) and plan on power washing and rinsing it several times with well water. Maybe there is some kind of fish friendly cleaner I could use or a cleaner that is easily rinsed out?
Maybe I should sink it one of the ponds for a few days?
Ideas?
