Cleaning my tank

Postby Nacho » Mon Feb 16, 2015 9:53 am

Hi all,

I want to clean my tank properly. It is empty and I removed it. I am now looking for something I can put in the tank to flush all the grime and dirt from the walls of the tank. What can I use to do this? ($$)

Hi Nacho.

I've also used acetone and added a handful of ball bearings to loosen the dirt in the hard to get at parts of the tank . Just let them roll around with the acetone.
