HI EVERYONE,
I have a questions abot cleaning reef equipment. I realize that you dont clean it with any chemical cleaning agent. My question is how often does everyone clean out their skimmer, powerheads and overflow tubes for the sump/wet-dry? I am having a problem with losing my siphon at least once a day. I cany seem to keep the U tube cleaned out. There is so much growth inside the tube that I cant even scrap the stuff growing inside...I assume they are some sort of tube worm, but they are THICK in there. I had to take my powerheads apart to scrap this stuff out of it to...as well as other interesting life forms that I have no idea what they are. I havent really heard anyone talking about equipment cleaning, but would appreciate your feedback...thanks,
Mike
