Golfnut Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 What is the best way to clean a tank that has lots of calcium build up on the edges? Do you use vinegar? Will it "eat" the seals? THANSKS! Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vallisneria Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 Edges? The plastic trim? or the glass? For the plastic trim I try and scrap it off as much as i can but if its really bad i use CLR. If its on the glass get a good razor blade and it should come right off.

Oneiroid Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 Vinegar works wonders. I pat the vinegar on the problem spots, let it stand for a little while so the vinegar is 'absorbed' by the deposit, then scrape it all away with a razor.

Golfnut Posted February 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 (edited) Well I tried vinegar for a while and it was "mildly" successful. Eventually I went with CLR and full strength by dabbing with a q-tip and it worked beautifully. My recommendation is use CLR it just works!!! Thanks for the replies all. -Andrew Edited February 6, 2006 by Golfnut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
