I had an old thread about this but I can’t find it. It’s your friendly reminder to clean your pumps!

That's hearsay. That pump has been going strong for 2 years without a single clean, I put my hand in front of it and felt the force, and decided I'd clean it just to get the vermitid snails off. It was blowing like a hurricane. Not being sarcastic at all too. It's a great powerhead #teamjebao

How did the 70:30 mix work?? I bet it nuked it within 20 minutes.

I ended up not doing that on the other pump, nor this one. I had a bucket of 9% vinegar that I threw both in for about 30 minutes. Apparently, the vinegar was enough to break down the tough stuff. I'm nervous dipping too long in the 9% vinegar though.

Damn! Just use that to cycle a new tank!

Have a jebao pump in my refugium that looked like that too before I cleaned it!

Now you guys see why Cody’s corals generally do better out of the tank.
