I got two of these aquaculture tanks. They measure about 9' X 2' at the edge of the lip. The height is 18". They taper down.

How many gallons would you estimate...it's not rectangular?

Should I worry about the packing tape along the top rim? I can't get it off easily. I can peel the outer layer, with difficulty; but it leaves a sticky residue. I am planning to put goldfish and turtles in the first one, not sure yet on the second one. Will the tape/residue hurt them? Any easy way to get it off?

razor blade and elbow grease? Maybe one of those green scrub pads. good luck.

I don't know whether it would affect the water/fish/turtles or not.
