Re: Tank Home
Congratulations!
My question to you is who going to scrape and clean the tank up?I'm getting carpal tunnel syndrome just thinking about it.

Re: Tank Home
Nope no real good tips.I've clean tanks with white vinegar or just a small amount of bleach and water.Personally,I would scrape and clean the sides and front.All the dried coralline on the pipes and back,I would just leave.It will flake off and end up being part of the sand bed once you add water.

Re: Tank Home
I see a shop vac in my future! What about the crap in the overflows? Leave it or attempt to scape it?

Re: Tank Home
Looking at the underside of the tank where the overflow at bulkheads are I see tracks of hard shell/tube from feather duster worms.I would clean out everything-dried salt,those tube worm shells and not worry to much about the coralline if I missed some.
