Ive done it on my most recent build. Lots of pics there if you wish to see them. Always remeber to add the acid to water.....NEVER add water to acid. And never mix bleach and acid.

I did water/bleach bath for 24 hours. Then a pressure wash rinse. Followed by a freshwater soak. Then did the acid bath for a few hours, with a bunch of baking soda at the end to neutralize the acid. This was followed again by a pressure wash and long RO water soak. Then I left them out in the sun to bake/dry out for a couple weeks.

I had no phosphate issues at all and best of all...no pests!!

Highly recommend doing this. Be safe and best of luck. Let us know how it turns out.
