Stock tank material
I just purchased a "Tuff" stock tank. Its manufactured of LDPE. It states "chemically neutral". Can anyone tell me if this is safe for a reef fuge tank . Thanks.

LDPE (low density polyethylene) is fine.

If it was new, I'd just wash it with soap and warm water, rinse really well with water, and then use it, smell or no.
