Re: How many times should I wash out the tank before adding fish ?

After using Epoxy paint, you are meant to fill the tank, leave it overnight
and then empty it and fill it again.

However, I usually do it twice.

I'd do it more, except I am always really impatient by the time I reach this
stage :)
