In a 8ft dia float tank made of fiberglass we get brown stains above the waterline I think they are iron and especially manganese oxides mixed or transported there with body oils from the floaters. Will ascorbic acid work on manganese or maybe oxalic acid? Or maybe some other reducing agent? Acid cleaning (vinegar) has been ineffective but it removes body fats.

note waterline rises siginficantly with two floaters in the pool.
below waterline, no problem.
