cleaning components

[ericosuave]

Is there any way to clean my protein skimmer? its soo built up with slimy stuff... i just wanna clean it and get it all out!! can i soak it in anything to break up the slimy algae stuff? like vinegar or something? i dont know! i can use a toothbrush on some areas.. but i cant get deep into the chambers with it.

TIA

best thing is to buy the aquarium brushes they are long and can reach !

Sometimes if you use a cleaner, it won't work properly afterwards. I just use warm water and rub it off. As Keith said, use a brush with soft bristles.
