Help!
I recently sterilised my tank after the death of my fish, it was a suspected internal bacteria problem.
I didn't sterilise the wood, I scrubbed this down and allowed it to dry out but I used Milton on my tank and gravel.
I rinsed them both thoroughly and left the gravel soaking for a week in safe (changed the water three times)
I set the tank back up on Saturday using filter media from an existing tank but I noticed a chemical smell in the the water so tonight decided to strip it down again and I have disposed of the gravel.
However the root that had been put back in the tank now smells of what I think is Milton.
It's a large piece so I have no way of boiling it. I can soak it in the bath but will have to remove it every night to allow the family to have a bath.
Do you think the piece is ruined now or is there some way is can get rid of the Milton?
