How to remove old coraline

[Reefdad]

I just bought a used glass 75 gallon tank. It is covered in coraline. Is there a safe chemical or way to clean it up without scratching up the glass?

 

[hiepatitis]

soak the tank in a light solution of vinegar.

It 75 gallons!!!! can I fill it with tap water? and how much vinegar for that volume?

 

[sfsuphysics]

lay it on a side, pour some vinegar on the side and let it sit. Its not a quick process but it's relatively painfree, then flip to another side and do the same, you don't need much to start to break it down.

how about mixing some vinegar solution and add it to a spray bottle to spray on to the tank

if its glass I'd just use a razor blade or a putty knife.

Erik I just cleaned my 120 using viniger in about 30 mins, just do what was said above and lay it on it's side, let the vinger sit for a momnet and then scurb.

After that, let the scrapings dry. Sprinkle it over your rice with sesame seeds and chili powder
