I've finally gotten to setting up a 210g tank. I have a Mag return pump and a Sedra skimmer pump that have been sitting in salt water for about 3 months not running...not the greatest idea as I look back on it.
How should I clean these. Do I just do the old vinegar bath overnight? Or do I need to actually take these apart and clean them? I was just going to give them a vinegar bath but I'm not sure if that will be good enough. I ran the Mag in a bucket of water just to make sure it still worked okay and it doesn't sound good at all. Hopefully there's just crud in there.

- Oh, and should I also be cleaning the skimmer itself with vinegar? It looks pretty crusty.
