hello

i aquired another aquarium that was previously used as a saltwater setup.
i have cleaned the tank fairly well with a vinegar/water solution.
i am having a tough time with the "pink coral bloom stuff?"
i was told the pink reminents are a sign of healthy corals, and should be no harm to freshwater fish. It is only on the corner overflow, and would like
other feedback on to whether it is harmull to freshwater fish.
any feedback/cleaning advice will be greatly appreciated.

If it is a glass aquarium, use a razor blade. If not, and it is a relatively small amount, I don't think it will have any significant affect on the freshwater set-up.

You can try to bleach it off, as long as you thoroughly clean and dechlorinate it afterwards.
