freshwater fish tank question

[LK17]

Hello, i'm new so I don't know where else to post this.. just a quick question please. :]..

I have a 10 gallon freshwater fish tank.. and recently my fish have died while in quarantine from "Ich"..

My question being is it safe for me to wash out the 2 tanks, the original tank they were in that was filled with ich.. and the quarantine tank.., in my bathtub? is it harmful to humans? If I come in contact with it or will the Ich stay in the bathtub even after It is washed? I do not plan to have more fish afterward so the tanks will also be stored away with their items etc..

Please and thank you..!

The ich will not infect people.
Just drying out the equipment should kill the ich also.
Sorry you aren't going to be keeping fish anymore.

I agree with coralbandit.

Why dont you plan on having fish anymore?

Plus 1 - all new tanks have teething problems but once established they run for years as the best 'TV program' I've ever found

Ich is something most everyone here has encountered at least once.

I dealt with it a while back and it killed off most of my tank (newbie at the time)

Disease is not always your own fault. Sometimes they are sick at the store and you did a great job my quarantining the fish so it didn't affect your main tank.

Disease happens and it shouldn't be a reason to just pack up and give up the hobby.

Hope you change your mind

It's a really good question in general. A quick clean of tub with vinegar or household bleach and rinse off could be done for peace of mind.

Included some articles for down the track. Tank build or start threads always well received ?
