I am moving my 180g tank into a wall. So rock is coming out and and getting acid bath. No coral left so no biggie.
Here is what I want to do, run tank and pumps with hydrogen peroxide to kill any remaining cells in sump, tank overflows etc.
I figure vinegar may not work.Then rinse it all and reset up. I have a lot of marine land bio blocks and spheres so reestabkishing bacteria shouldn't be an issue.
Any thoughts?
 
Pull one out and put it in a vinegar water solution to see if it kills it. If it does, then vinegar would probably be more cost effective versus h2o2.
 
My only concern was it’s about 270g total system. So amount needed. I read somewhere that peroxide kills them good. But I know vinegar does too. Just looking for anyone that’s done similar.
