Default How to clean a used tank...


I just got a used tank... Exactly how should I clean it? I know that I shouldn't use soap, but shoudl I use something like vinger instead?

I would rinse it out really well with plain water and a sponge, then wash it very well with vinegar. The vinegar will help in removing water deposits. Then thoroughly rinse it out with water again. Soap, imo, is definitely a no-no. I have heard some people using 'oxy-clean', but have no personal info on that.
