YES ist no big deal. Vinegar work great for cleaning tanks and filters and with not bad for you tank as long as you rise every thing.

It would be ok even if you didn't do a spectacular clean job...just a little salt. Now if it has been stored for years and there is dirt and dust accumulated, then I would do a good job of soaking/cleaning.

It was stored for a while but not sure how long the intakes for the fluvals are nasty im gonna try and clean what i can as good as i can and when i get ready to move the tank to my house from my dads ill try and flush the pump and uv good its gonna be at my dads. Few weeks while i get a leak in my roof fixed the latest storms caused.

hook the pump and uv to a buck full of vinegar water and let it run.

I did it with my 400 gallon. No biggie. Just clean fairly well and fill and check water parameters.
