Washed A Tank In Washing-Up Liquid

[SchottayB]

My mother washed one of my old tanks in washing-up liquid about 2 weeks ago because "it looked dirty!" sitting in the garage.

Will it be ok to use to hold my fish while I put a background and change the gravel in my new tank?

I will rince it and scrub it with walm water first, before putting my tank water, filter, heater and gravel in it to hold my fish for 24 hours.

Cheers

I'm no expert but if u give it a good rince with water first, i dont see a problem.
After all some people have used there baths to hold fish for a few hours while doing something with there tanks or whatever.

I'd use the bath but the misses would kill me

I'll give it a good rince out in the shower later on when I go pick it up from my mums! Cheers
