Hi, the FitRV on YouTube demonstrated that ice cubes sloshing around really don't do a thing. Sales people don't know b/c they don't RV ... they are too busy selling them.

Get a clear elbow for your hose......then you can see if tank is staying clean after you get thru this.....

Anyone know of a tried and true method of removing this kind of build-up?

Simple - https://sites.google.com/site/cbruni/ - and lots of water. .

Always, use lots of water in the Black Tank - Simple. .
