Yea, I kept reading about soda ash and didn't think it was the same thing we use around the winery. That with potasium carbonate is disifectant, then a water rinse, citric rinse, water, iodine, the a final rinse. Soda ash will take the red out of the equipment nutralizing the acid. But for reefs, it can be used for alc and as cheep as it is it might be the way to go. I didn't know if anybody was already using it. Spell check please:hmm3:
