    What should I do about my tank?

    Building a 75 cb550. The original tank has a decent amount of rust on the inside. I have given it several baths in clr, and the rust wont fade. I contacted Rusteco and it will cost $125 to treat a five gallon tank. I also sourced a new steel tank which costs $250. What do you guys suggest?
