Regarding the green water in the tanks when I get a tank I remove it from the frame and clean it then give it a couple of<br />
coats of paint on the outside (whatever colour is lying around in the shed at the time) and slipped it back into the frame then touched up any scratches, Hopefully this will also protect the plastic from the sun.One of my tanks I have also wrapped some old carpet around it in the hope it may not get quite so hot / cold. Whether this actually works I am not sure but I think…

There is a product called "Incide Out" which is used to clean out pesticide application equipment, ask you local landscape contractor where they purchase their pesticide, or look up your local farm service (FS). Also check out:<br />

<br />
they have many listings available, although you may need to purchase more than one.<br />

Sorry I posted this originally to another thread, it seemed like it might be more appropriate…

Thanks Kobus.....I searched some myself, didn't find much either. Just sites, talking about how bad of an idea it is, to add flouride to our drinking water :-(<br />
<br />
When I talked to them ...they said they would rinse it pretty good. Which I'm sure they will, they can still use it (the flouride) even if it is watered down.<br />
I was planning on cutting the tops off, and rinising them out......then maybe, even spraying them with a pressure washer.

I use the bubble foil insulation. Then I have the shadecloth over it for looks. You could also use just the Foil Insulation.

I have seen folks wrap them with Bamboo, rattan and seagrass privacy fencing and rugs. They look quite presentable. Also the sometimes put insulation between the layers. I have used dark shade cloth to wrap things also.

Hm, can you get something like this with heavier, more UV-resistant liner? Or would it be more cost effective to wrap the outside with a cheap tarp to keep light off?

They are also not UV resistant so long term exposure to sunlight is probably not a good idea. These are great tanks though and very convenient to use. Sweetwater organics uses them as part of the DWC filtration system as well.
