Disinfecting former fish tank for frog

[Mentat]

Missed the "Wipe Out;" yes can use it if rinsed well afterward. You can fill with spring but will need to rinse many times if not using a strong 10X dechlorinator solution to detox any possible remaining bleach. Unless you have all those enclosures on hand; it's cheaper to go ahead and invest in the size that will hold the number of adults you plan to keep. Good info on Greys in here: http://Gray Tree Frog Care and Breeding . Good luck !

Ok, I will use the 10x dechlorinator then, thanks for the suggestion!
I have a few tanks extra from my rhacodactylus geckos, and plan on keeping one (for now...we'll see how long that lasts haha).

Thanks again!

Hmm, so I bleached three times and rinsed countless times and the tank still smells like fish medicine (friend used it to treat the betta, it's the type you drop into the water). Is there anything I can do to get rid of the smell?

Do you know what medication your friend used? I've been keeping fish for over 5 decades and never seen a "smelly fish medicine" that had a strong smell after mixing in tank; much less one with such persistent odor characteristics. Some do smell for awhile (i.e. Melafix) but nothing that remains after a water change or removal with carbon. Are you sure what you small is a fish medicine and not something else ?

It was something called maracide. But I think now I may have smelled something else. They gave me the medicine and it smells like play dough.
But, I used the Wipe Out and it doesn't smell anymore.
