I am shutting down my tank and a friend is going to hold my corals till I move

I need to do a total clean with vinegar as it will be about 60 days till it's up and running again

Tank is a 30 gallon AIO.

My plan is to leave all equipment in after removing corals and sand

My question is do I need to use 30 gallons of vinegar, or can it be diluted and still be effective?

Thanks!
 
Great plan. Usually a 50 vinegar and 50 water. Remember vinegar is an acid and parts like rubber will deteriorate.
 
Thanks joker! Much appreciated. How long would you recommend running the system w vinegar?
