I'm on my second fill at the moment, but I don't think it's going to be 
left at that. I can see what look like streams of dissolved epoxy coming 
off the background. There's no way I'm putting *anything* living in 
there until that's stopped.

It's significantly less than it was yesterday, but I'm going to fill, 
soak and empty at least once more before I risk a snail or guppy to see 
if it's safe.

Impatient is one way of describing it. Unfortunately, my fears of what 
is going on in that tank override that impatience.
