"Remove carbon from filter. Add one drop per gallon daily. For TETRAS: add one drop per 2 gallons daily. For MARINE fish: Add one drop daily in a bare aquarium. Maximum dosage: 3 treatments. If further medication is required, perform a 25 percent water change. <B>Not for use on baby whales or elephant noses.</B> Not for reef aquariums."

pretty interesting....
 
I called thatfishplace where I purchased it and they said I would be fine she said she was 100% sure..But I dont know if I can trust that
 
I'm confused.. If you are totally starting over, why would it matter? As long as you aren't using the same rock or substrate it shouldn't matter.
 
I think if you clean the tank out well before using it is very unlikley to be a problem. I bought my 55 used and who knows what medications were used in it and i have no problems. Alot of people have used tanks that came from somebody else. Just be sure to clean it up before using. I also filled mine with water then emptied it which may have diluted anything that may have been in it, but i did it to be sure it didn't leak before i filled it in the house
 
Thanks! I've called several stores and all have given me the same answer, just rinse it out and you'll be fine! I am going to give it a real good cleaning with white vinegar just because it needs it! Thanks for all the response!
