With no rocks in the tank plus sump I’m looking at about 200 gallon. Have to find a bulk supply.

Can I leave my skimmer and powerheads running in it to clean them out as well?
For BRS:

I just run it for 24 hours on MP40 wet side and frag racks and then scrub and rinse. Haven't seen any ill effect.

You've been around @robanister too long already. It took me a couple times to figure out what you were saying here. lol

Now it’s time for me to clean up. Been a long time since I broke down a big tank. Once it’s empty of everything I’ll need to clean and sanitize it.

My initial thought is to fill the tank with fresh water and vinegar and let it just run for a few days. (I’ll spend a lot of time out of the house). That should kill and break down all the coraline on the seals and overflow so I can get them clean.

Also have some pump clean, but don’t think I should put that in the tank.

Any good suggestions on the best way to clean the tank and plumbing?
Citric acid, easier on the rubber parts and seals.

I use citric acid to clean them all the time.
