Cleaning A Tank

[kingspade]

what is the best thing to use to clean a tank to get water stains and stuff off the glass, and other things i dont want on there??? ive heard vinegar, but i pretty much throw up when i smell that stuff so is there anything other than vinegar i can use??

distilled vinegar will work good to remove calcium and lime deposits and is about the only "safe" cleaner you can use in the tank that I know of. Checked out your other threads tank in coming along well it looks

The only concern that I had is the noise from the drains to the sump you should make a sort of difusing pipe on the end of the drains like this and run them to the bottom of the sump. This is how the new mega flow sumps from all-glass are now made.
