I guess I should have researched FIRST!!

But I bought this to help transfer from my old to my new tank, thanks!!
 
Low Density Polyethylene is pretty inert. It should be fine. I would just wash it out if it is new to get rid of any residual chemicals on the surface, like release agents or plasticizers, I think they call them. I use salt mix or just table salt for this. Just take a cup or so and wet it until it gets damp and pasty, then use it as an abrasive to scrub the inside of the container and rinse out.
 
Like the others I would imagine that it would be safe, my only concerns would be is it new used ( I used to was the dogs with flea shampoo in something like that). If you are real worried maybe put a sheet of plastic inside first.

Dave good trick with the salt abrasive, I'll have to remember that sometime!
 
Ok, cool! Thanks everyone!
I rinsed it in vinegar, then faucet water, letting dry.

Next will be reef salt!

(It is brand new)

Thanks again!
