Cheers guys, I definitely will have a cleaning schedule once I am up and running! Probably do it every other water change or something like that... Oh the joy when the water started flowing haha ??
(although it is extremely simple, if in the future any one is looking at this and wants to know how to dismantle the pump, just send me a message and I'll be happy to help)
