i got a used 30 gallon tank that i'd like to set up - but i just found out that the guy used windex to clean out the inside!

i've disinfected it with hot water and about a cup of bleach. it sat for about 2 hours, then i rinsed it with hot water - a lot! i'll let it sit for a few days... maybe even outside in the sun.

do you think it will be safe for fish?
