Cleaning Used Tank

[Steve175]

I am picking up a used 220G this weekend to use for a refugium on my 450G and want to clean it well prior to adding new aragonite for 7" DSB and 250# of LR (eventual Chaeto under MH lighting). Wondering what I should use to clean tank: white vinegar, other? Thanks, Steve.

vinegar and warm water will work great.

people say vinegar works great.

I tried it and it didnt do so well fo rme. honestly some time and a razorblade did the best

Bleach. unless the tank was yours prior, you never know what was in it before.....

Scrub with bleach, and rinse well. Done

That is what I use on all sorts of aquarium related things: tanks, powerheads, pumps.

steve175 do you have any pics of your 450g tank? Just curious

A strong vinegar solution works very well.

Bleach, a scrubber pad, and a hose.

Let dry completly and call it good
