Hi all! I've had an 80ltr (got it from my little sister) sitting in my yard for a few weeks now and I'm to scared to clean it... Seriously, its atrocious, my hubby was choking and gaging when he was emptying it out to swap over - and his stomach is usually pretty strong... Well guess who got stuck with the task of cleaning it out? You guessed it, me.
For those who don't know this tank got a water change maybe once every 4-5 months if it was lucky and was home to four decent sized goldfish for 3-5 years..
Normally I use a bleach and vinegar solution of one part bleach and nine parts vinegar, followed by numerous rinses and prime soakings but I'm wondering if anyone has a better way? This thing is gross and I don't feel like my 'usual' will cut it this time without a LOT of scrubbing...
I already have a various assortment of toothbrushes, scrubbing brushes, sponges and microfiber cloths to use, I'm just wondering if anyone has any tips and tricks for cleaning a disgustingly filthy tank?
Thanks in advance.
