Someone was nice enough to give me a tank they weren't using. I'm pretty stoked, but they painted the back of it with some type of blue paint. It looks like a plastic type of paint, or lacquer paint. It’s coming off in little chunks kinda like a latex mask. I would LOVE to remove it but I don’t want to use any chemicals to pull it off.
Does anyone know of a way to remove paint from the back of a tank without using chemicals or anything that might damage the fish once I put them in there?
OR
Does anyone know of a way to get rid of the chemicals after I use something to take off the paint?
I'm testing it right now to see if it has any leaks so I have a day or two before I do anything to it. I was thinking about heating it up with a heat gun and trying to scrape as much of it as I could, then use a grated sponge to wipe off the rest, but I don't think I will be too successful with out any chemicals.
Please help!
