Re: [Killietalk] Help, Hard Water Deposits

Coming from Arizona it is most likely mineral deposits and HCl (muratic
acid) will remove this.  Up here in the North West we usually get etching
from soft water.  It looks similar but you can't remove the etching.

Hi Ken,
  Soak it and then try a razor blade or a kent scraper.  Good luck  and let
me know the results.  I've always had good luck with  vinegar, so after
soaking, you could always try that again.
  HTH,
  Gary

I've already tried: Razor blades, Python Aquarium Cleaner (which smells
supiciously like "Lime-Away") "Lime Away" (shhhh that's a confession),
Distilled Water (worked better than all the former, but...), Vinegar, &
Bleach...

Thx in advance...Ken (runnin outta space & resorting to breaking out the old
tanks from Arizona...arrghh)
