I stole the skimmer off my other system to get it on the new tank and start transferring things over.... I always forget how big this thing is till I have to move it!

And man was it dirty! It had aiptasia growing on it which was part of a problem in my last system.... So I grabbed some 35% peroxide from a hydro store.... Those suckers were sizzling like bacon.... FYI wear a restporator if u decide to do this,... The peroxide is really strong and was burning my eyes and nose... I had to stop and put one on.... Gave me some anxiety!

Here it is running in 8 gallons of vinegar ... I had to add some water to it cause I didn't have enough.... I think it should be fine right ....? Only muratic acid becomes hydrocloric acid when water is added right?
