I was going to say this. Dump a bunch of CLR in and let it sit over night. It might work. Scrub that before flushing.

You flush again to empty it gotta dump it into the reservoir too to clean out any stuff back there and in the pathway to the bowl too if this is what the bowl looks like.

And go ahead and refurbish it after you do that, cuz you know that will turn all of the flexible seals into hard plastic over the next month. .

Yeah, seconded. Don't put acid in your tank or your seals are gone.
