So have been lazy with My tank and my Reflector on my tek is bad. Was wondering the best to clean it or can I take it to a shop to have it possible repolished? Thanks

Plain hot water first to remove the large quantities of salt and scale

Rub on some white vinegar and let it sit a few hours or even overnight to loosen up and dissolve the rest

You can use a new, soapy brillo pad if you scrub lightly
