Help WIth Restoring A Tank

[Stace Tate]

Hello,

I was recently given a 130g acrylic tank that was used for sal****er.
It is in pretty bad shape. It needs a good cleaning and smells pretty bad.

I removed the plumbing and hosed it out to remove all the loose junk. The
algae and scale? are proving to be difficult to remove. I have tried a
citrus cleaner, vinegar and a bit of elbow grease with little success. I
have always had glass in the past but nothing near this size.

Any suggestions for me to get this back into shape would be appreciated.

Thanks

yeah, you can bring it to my house, and let me clean it... might take a few
years... but I'll clean it....

*done giggling*

hee hee... You've got the right idea, just don't use a razor blade, don't
use steel wool, cloth rags and scotchbrite pads might help, but may make the
acrylic hazy looking... it's a nasty beotch you got there....
