An unusual application for vodka…
Well, we found out why the tank was on discount. Someone had had an accident with a spray gun involving, yes, glue. Superglue. That haziness on the inside glass has to be dealt with, or algae will make that its home. A razor blade helps, but isn’t a total answer.
OTOH, alcohol is a solvent and vodka is sometimes fed to tanks to handle a chemical problem.
It can be applied internally to the owners, if it doesn’t work. Alcohol’s not on our diet and we’ve been good since mid-March, so we’d be cheap dates. But we’ll have to see whether this works. We have to get our tallest painting ladder and go half into the tank to reach the bottom, so the fumes alone should be entertaining.
We’ll get it. We’re inventive. I ‘ve been at this for Crom-many years and there isn’t much that gets on glass that I can’t deal with. Paint would be a snap. Glue—a little tougher.
I don’t want to use a petroleum-based remover for obvious reasons, so no ordinary goop-off will work. Vodka either will or won’t, but it’ll make us feel better.
We have a weird shopping list involving computer fans (2), adapter, super glue, vodka, sand, I-C-Gel, small rocks to be used as coral ballast, small squares of glass, several pipe adapters, hose of various diameters, a freshwater skimmer and a Mag 9.5 pump.
