|  water & vinegar mixture for cleaning I want to fill my used new to me tank and do a circulation soak. It's a 45 gallon cube tank so how much vinegar should I use with the fill of water for best results? I'm going to put in a couple of powerheads to circulate the mixture, done this before but can't remember the mixture I used but it did a great job and cleaned up the tank like new.  |

|   In the same boat, I was going to just eyeball it.  I used a 1:3 (vinegar to water) when I cleaned my sump out and it appeared to work wonders.
