Cleaning Koralia Pumps?

Hey Everyone,
I just wanted to see what everyone did when it comes to cleaning their Koralia powerheads. I clean mine bimonthly and just scrub them in salt water and clean the gunk out and off of them. What do you guys do or recommend.

 

Vinegar and water. Rinse well. ;D

 

I do the same dan. Just clean them every month or so during a waer change or if I see visable build up. I soak them in diluted white vinegar for a few hours every 3 mos or so just to keep all the parts working well and in good repair.

 

+1 ^ vinegar and water

 

I clean mine once every few months depending on coralline growth.

I take the powerheads completely apart and soak them in a 1:1 ratio of vinegar water solution for 24 hours. I then take a toothbrush and brush the dead algae off the pumps. They look brand new after I scrub them with a toothbrush.

 

Do you have to clean them? I like how yucky mine gets because then it blends into the tank...

 

I like them all caked up and pretty from corralline growth also, but they do work a lot better when they are clean. ;D

 

+1. It is amazing the difference a cleaning every so often does for the flow.

 

Meh, clean is overrated

 

I like the look too kc so I just scrub out the inside and let the coralline keep growing on the outside. I just cleaned my yesterday as a matter of fact and somehow I have 5 baby feather dusters living on the inside. I guess they get good flow in there .
