Yup, I'm still here!
I do feel that there is a great deal of information out there on t'interweb that is somewhat misleading, and in many cases certainly overcomplicated. Bugbear's link is a good one, but really, you don't need to worry about percentage solution concentrations, a table spoonish per gallonish will do the job, and as long as the wires are connected the right way round, the jobs a goodun. Electrical safety around water is an important consideration, but a bit of common sense is all that is required.
I simply set up the same system as Seaco and there were no problems. I think if anyone was thinking of having a go, that would be the simplest advice I could give.
It really is an easy method of rust removal, and besides the fiver for the 12V railway controller, and a quid for a shiny new bucket, and 69p for soda crystals from Wilco's it is pretty cheap too. The results of a couple of hours with a 12 volt, 1 amp power supply speak for themselves.
