I have a layer of calcium around the top of my tank near the waterline. I tried a scrubbie pad and it doesn't seem to take it off. I was wondering if I wet the pad with white vinegar and try scrubbing it again would the possibility of vinegar ending up in the water harm the fish? Its a 90g and lets just assume a shot glass worth of vinegar would end up in the tank (at the most).

Would this be a problem?:confused:
 
They might get offended because fish and chips are often served with vinegar.
 
not at that diluted level.
 
Yeah including your fingers,be careful but its a good method.
