Some of you may be aware that I have a tank problem - a bad one! My gorgeous original tank (outside) is pretty much shot inside.

So I got another tank. Been in storage for years with preservative (?) in it that kept rusts away. USPS wouldn't let the PO ship it with the preservative in it, as it was considered HAZMAT. So, he flushed it with Simple Green several times before it was deemed acceptable. Now it has a very fine film of iron oxide on the inside. Outside was a pleb attempt at resto, but I can fix that.

So...what should I use on the inside of the tank to remove the minimal oxidation?

And, what should I use to seal it on the inside?

I'd prefer NOT to use POR15.

What did the Factory use?

Need to get going on this - Fritz MUST rise THIS year!
