Aquarium Advice FINatic
I was just given an aquaclear 50 filter, I bought all the inside things (foam, carbon, and the white rock stuff lol (can't remember the name))
Anyways, the filter wasn't cleaned when I got it. I cleaned it as well as I could, got out most of the dried algae/crap I'm guessing... except I can't get the "U" part on the intake tube clean. If I rinsed it in hot water, and the whole system was dried for a long time before I was given it, could it still be dangerous to the fish? Or will any bacteria/dangers be eliminated from being dry for so long? (It was unused for at least 4 months)
