Could you just submerge your entire tank in a tub full of water and cleaning soda, connect a wire to the tank for the charger ground, drop the "electrode" in the tub and get the inside and outside cleaned?
So my advance plate broke where it lines up with the pin on the backside and I'm in need of a replacement. Any suggestions? I've heard the ones from mikes are not very reliable, is this true? I have a pamco so would it be worth it to just get the e advancer? Thanks
