I just cleaned out my old sump with vinegar, and I've rinsed it out, and it will sit dry for a few more weeks before I get my tank setup. Will it be ok to use after then?

Thanks

Sure, its good to go. Some people use white vinegar to lower their PH in the tank. Thats the worst that will happen but if you rinsed then theres no worries.

I use my pumps right after rinsing them with fresh water / RO. Never seen a problem with vinegar at all.

Yup. I've added Vinegar directly to my tank to lower PH. Not a problem.

people use white vinegar all the time to run and clean powerheads in all the time. I wouldn't be worried.
