Question

Answer 1

If you had this tank in your shed for over ten years I would not use it.  You would have to sterilize it with bleach first and you know how bleach lingers.  Also with it being in the shed it has been subject to freeze and thaw.  So one day you will come home to no fishies in the tank but on the floor.  Buy a new one and avoid the headache!!

Answer 2

Just make sure you have cleaned properly with disinfectant liquids that it is free from any virus that will cause to endanger your new fish.
