The tubing of my gravel vac has mold/ mildew in it, what is the best way to get it out?
 
I would boil some water and then siphon it through the tubing. Put a rubber glove on your hand so you can dip your hand into the boiling water without burning it as you start the siphon.

alright ill have to try that
 
I have dipped a cotton ball in some hydrogen peroxide then i put the ball in the tube and i pushed it through with a bike pump. My siphon tube is really thin so i only ripped off a piece of my cotton ball...
 
mix some bleach and water in a bucket and sit it in there for awhile then rinse it throughly a few times and you should be good to go
