    Pool acid, muratic acid if the tank is steel, Be careful & read instructions before opening, it’s nasty but will clean it!

    Is muriatic acid for rust removal or for varnish/sludge removal or both?

    I have a six gallon tank with about an inch of roofing-cement like black sticky gooey sludge in the bottom….so thick and sticky that a length of chain doesn’t even slide around.

    Will muriatic acid help that Jeff?
