Howdy - I’m new around here and setting up a Fluval Flex 123l tank salt water. I would like to rinse it out to remove as much nano particles plastics as possible. Any suggestions beyond warm water? I will put up a thread of the build when it is live and just make a single post to introduce myself and setups. Greets from Joymany.

Warm water and white vinegar.
 
I wouldn't use RODI for a rinse out and drain. Tap is fine.
 
I don't like to use warm water for anything fishtank related because you don't know what the condition of your hot water heater tank is like. There are a lot of metals in there that break down over time and could cause issues.
