So I was thinking I should start cleaning my tanks out a bit when I O2 clean my regs/valves, particularly the smaller tanks. I don't have one of those tumblers from Global that cost $1K retail, and I'm an individual so don't have access to the secret society of keyman pricing. The brushes you can buy from scuba retailers are pretty expensive too, and some are steel and some are a plastic with some kind of grit attached to them.
How do people clean the insides of their tanks without tumblers?
I'm thinking of making a steel whip that I can hook onto a drill, running it gently around the sides and on any rust spots for my steel tanks, and just lightly around my aluminum ones, then rinsing with Crystal SG and hot water, and blow drying dry using a hairdryer.
Any links to useful products, pics of homebuilt tools/rigs, or thoughts/suggestions on materials or approach?
Thanks,
Mike
