Breaking down tank for a move

[Gbonier]

Al the fish/rock/coral and everything else is already out of the tank. What im wanting to do is either put a ton of citric acid or vinegar to clean out the tank before I remove all of the water so the tank can look new when it gets to it's new home. The last time I did this
i ended up just cleaning everything piece by piece which took forever.

any reasons this would be a bad idea?

A "ton of anything" sounds like a bad idea to me.

Id likely dump 10 gals of vinegar in, or the same amount of citric acid.

I mean, isn't that crud a good part of your biome? Clean and shiny is not necessarily good...
