I use it currently because I was tired of using much slower vinegar. Always mix it carefully to water, NEVER add water to strong acids! It will vaporize the water and you'll get a plume of water vapour and acid coming straight at you.
Even still, it will give off strong vapours at first, so make sure you use ventilation and do not breathe in the fumes. It dissapates when mixed. Eli's mix 1-3c per 5g) is about what I use. Even that can last a while.
Also cheaper than constantly buying 5L vinegar containers. Ive also used it to dissolve coral skeletons to add back to the aquarium as part of dosing(Makes calcium chloride) but not 100% comfortable with the purity of it (anyone know?)
