Got a strange one for you guys.
I received an old cube stand free of charge from another RC member. The thing was in bad shape. Apparently it'd been kept outside. A cat had made it's home inside the stand for several months. I sanded all the surfaces and put a heavy coat of black oil paint everywhere but the bottom. It looks good but the inside still smells like cat urine. It's pretty gross. I was hoping the paint would cover it up. I'm going to let it dry then paint the bottom and see where I'm at.
Here's the question. Do you think this issue will give me problems down the line? I'm using the stand to hold a frag tank. It will be used as a coral QT until I have some coral to frag. I'm just hoping the ammonia in the urine doesn't somehow make it's way into the water.
Anyone know how to get rid of cat urine smell? I freaking hate cats lol.
