we don't think the mineral deposits can hurt them
when we needed tanks we got a few with some deposit rings
you can kinda see them after we washed them
some tanks are so bad no matter how much you scrub, it's still yucky
we've seen some where almost half the tank is white or opaque
the ones we have only have rings 1in or less from the top and 1.5in or less
thick, and they are mostly not whitish anymore just kinda blurred
