If you are planning to put living things back into the aquarium, NEVER clean it with any harsh chemicals like bleach or hydrochloric acid which will leave a slight residual even if rinsed well. Instead, use vinegar, a razor blade to scrape, or scrub with steel wool. Rinse well.

What are health hazards of hydrochloric acid?
Concentrated hydrochloric acid (fuming hydrochloric acid) forms acidic mists. Both the mist and the solution have a corrosive effect on human tissue, with the potential to damage respiratory organs, eyes, skin, and intestines. Upon mixing hydrochloric acid with common oxidizing chemicals, such as sodium hypochlorite (bleach, NaClO) or potassium permanganate (KMnO4), the toxic gas chlorine is produced. I hope the answer I gave helps :).

What are the hazards you need to be aware of for Hydrochloric acid?
Hydrochloric acid reacts strongly with almost all metals, especially the softer ones like aluminum and magnesium. Hydrochloric acid is extremely irritating to skin and eyes. It can produce toxic gasses during certain reactions. HCl will produce heat when mixed with water and under certain circumstances can cause dangerous amounts of heat which lead to release of flammable gasses and splashing of hazardous acidic material. HCl will corrode electrical conductors. HCl can damage some types of containment vessels. HCl is strong enough to break down the portlandite in cement and concrete and thereby weaken otherwise strong secondary containment.
Will a silicone bracelet cause any damage to my skin?
No, there's no risk of damage to the skin from wearing a silicone bracelet. A silicone bracelet will only cause damage to your skin if you have an allergic reaction to it. Silicone allergies are rare. However, if it contains lead or latex, both of these can react badly to your skin, especially if sensitive to them.
