Hey my wife and I purchased a Columbia 29 Mk II and there is some
green slime on the walls of the aluminum water tank under the V-Berth
I was wondering what the best way to disinfect and clean it out.

Is there some sort of cleaner or bleach water mixture that we can put
in the tank to kill what ever is growing down there?



Any chemists here?????

Do yourself a favor. Toss the aluminum tanks and replace with 316L.
ANd DONT "shock treat" your alumunium tank with clorine bleach.
Thats to short of it.
