The tank in my room

Started washing the tank last weekend using artificial vinegar and some metal blade for scraping purpose. (didn't have any photo on it)

Filled the tank up with fresh water and let it run for 2 days for testing purpose.

Started scapping yesterday. Thanks to those that contributed to the LRs. Scapping is lack of some height. Will add in probably next week.

Bought 18 packets of seawater from LCK. Total of 270kg worth of water loaded into my car back seat. Driving at 40km/h back home and had to carry al 18 packets up home. Horrible experience but thank god it's only for one time start up.
