[Qun77]

the condition is to give away the current one...

Just nice my Niece is keen to keep some guppies and some strange looking fish from Qian Hu (one with heart shape) hence i can pass it over to her.

Can i have some advice on how to clean a used marine tank properly for fresh water?

Cheers

Hi Bro, a good and cheap way to clean all kinds of algae encrusted on the tank is to use rice vinegar. After that, give the tank a good rinse with fresh water.

Cool, assume this applied to other equipments that "touch" salt water?

Purpose of vinegar is to get rid of any precipitates eg calcium buildups or salt creeps

just watch for the silicon, make sure its all intact.

[Qun77]

U mean vinegar will dissolve the silicon? :-o

[kraken]

no it doesnt, he is just asking you to check for wear and tear on the silicon in case it leaks in your niece's place
