    How to clean an ICB before use,

    I’m looking at buy a couple 600 litre ibc containers for a couple of filters. They were used for detergents to will need a good clean out before use.
    Can anyone suggest what I can wash these out with so make them safe for the fish.

    Thanks

    i wouldnt touch them to be honest,i would find something that has been used for food stuffs,vince on here bought one that had been used for glue years back and after thinking he had cleaned it thoroughly he filled and put fish in,as it turned out with the warm water he used,it let solvents that had impregnated into the ibc to leech out and iirc he lost them all,i had one years back that was used for adblue that is fish safe in small amounts and had no issues,but i would still go for food stuff used ones,,,,andi

    Not if your fish stay alive. Cheaper in the long run.
    Nice one.
