I have built myself a 40gal fish tank and I wanted to decorate the backside of the the tank with some rocks. my dad has a 16" slab saw that I used to cut the rocks in half so I could glue them to the back of the tank. unfortunately the saw uses mineral oil to help cool down the blade so now all my rocks are covered in the stuff. I've washed out the tank a few times but I'm still getting mineral oil spots.
I have a smaller aquarium (30gal) that has been successful for a few months now full of fish and live plants that I would like to transfer to the new, bigger tank when I'm convinced all my fish wont die.
Should I continue washing it out? any ideas?
somewhere I read that I could just wait for it to rise to the top of the water and then soak it up with paper towels?
how else would I be able to clean up the oil?
