Cleaning with Vinegar

Froggie · 01-08-2006, 03:12 PM

Ok, so I soaked a HOB AC50 in vinegar to clean it since it was used. I let sit for 2 days and washed it out. How long should I let it sit out to dry before I use it? ....I'm starting to feel uneasy about using this for my tank now

acetic acid evaporates pretty well. GUessing if you dont smell it, just rinse it out again to make sure. and that should be that. just my $.02
