I want to fill my used new to me tank and do a circulation soak.
It's a 45 gallon cube tank so how much vinegar should I use with the fill of water for best results? I'm going to put in a couple of powerheads to circulate the mixture, done this before but can't remember the mixture I used but it did a great job and cleaned up the tank like new. :redface:

In the same boat, I was going to just eyeball it. I used a 1:3 (vinegar to water) when I cleaned my sump out and it appeared to work wonders.
i did close to 50/50 and used some baking soda first

Welcome back Laurie! 4:1 water/vinegar always worked for me.

LOL:lol: I never really left the hobby, just not keeping SW any more so I'm not on Canreef that often. How about you Dunc got anything going right now?
This tank going to be salt? If do I can give you some of my corals test need a trim. I also can help with calcium and bicarbonate if needed

I haven't got anything going at the moment either. Ryan took my stuff almost a year ago to look after it and I'm still yet to set something up. Hopefully within the next few months.
I have all the equipment left from my tank, just no tank, sump and light.

It's going to be planted freshwater when I do set it up, collecting everything I need so when the time comes I'll have it all including livestock which is being looked after by my friend Anthony aka "SeaHorse_Fanatic"right now.
Thanks though for the offer Dustin.
