ok i have a used acrylic tank 240 gallons... how do i clean this tank there ie white coraline all over it. can i use any vinegar? how do you mix is in terms of parts. and what can i used to scrape the acrylic without scratching it

Yes, vinegar will work. Throw in a couple of gallons, fill it with water, and let it sit for a few days.

I'd advise you to go get a variety of acrylic-safe scrapers and wipes from your LFS. Two of my favorites are the Kent plastic scrapers and Quik Wipes (Coralife, I think).

so any type of vinegar will work?

 

[BurntOutReefer]

IMO white works better then malt etc.

 

[pogiboy67]

so i dont have to use bleach at all?

No bleach. You can also use diluted muriatic acid, but be VERY careful not to get it in your eyes, breathe it in or get it on your skin. White vinegar works too.
