Cleaning Old Tanks & Equipment

[dgwebster]

realise this is an old topic, but something for the musings for people, it is what I use for cleaning any fishy equipment: ammonia based household cleaner!
 
outdoor if you can, goggles & breathing mask really clever. or if you are like me and kind of like the smell, leave when you get dizzy

yes, on the outside only.....
 
or very well diluted and rinsed on the inside, however i never recommend any type of cleaning agent on the inside except water

I've changed over from a 60 liter tank to a 100 liter tank few months ago and had to clean it out a bit on the inside,
the only things I used were warm water, scourer sponge, a brand new stanley blade and bucket loads of elbow grease.
i find that stanley blades and a scourer sponge are the best things for cleaning glass.
