Citric Acid - BRS

Citric acid is one of the easiest methods of cleaning your reef products and supplies. Simply soak the piece of equipment you want to clean in the citric acid solution and watch as the organic matter begins to dissolve. If it doesn't remove all of the organic matter, you can brush away the remaining. Stubborn algae like coralline may need a longer soak. 

NEVER PUT CITRIC ACID POWDER OR SOLUTION IN DIRECT CONTACT WITH TANK WATER
