Cleaning an old tank. Water and vinegar?

[Fish-n-beer-guy]

I have heard a water/vinegar solution is a good cleansing agent for tanks with crusted deposits. Any truth to this?

It sounds fine to me as long as you rinse the vinegar wityh water after all the "crust" is gone.

Vinegar is actually the best way to do it.

Just remember to use white vinegar...don't use cider.

Thanks for the replies everyone!

Rinse well, any vinegar residue will help promote algae growth in the tank.

You can use anything you want, so long as you rinse it good enough.

But, yeah, white vinegar will likely do the job, considering I use it to clean concrete off of test equipment....
