So I recently cleaned up most of the tank of a recently acquired used tank. It has a eurobrace which I think added to deposit above the waterline and on the eurobrace - harder to clean without a dedicated regimen.
I’ve read as much as I can but am now reaching out for real-world solutions people have had. It may be etched in - I’ve read that (continuous evaporation). I’ve given the tank a thorough vinegar bath and tried to see if a razor would have an effect.
I’m about to try PH Down (sulphuric acid) and citric acid - not at the same time. I am also thinking of cerium oxide polishing with a dremel or drill attachment.
You can see before and after pix by checking out my build thread - first steps of the journey.
