How do "you" clean your skimmer?

ahhhhhh gotcha! good thinking! ammonium thioglycolate is perm solution;D

 

For a really good cleaning, try some trinitrtoluene.;D

Seriously though, AquaRemora C, cup done weekly with bottle brush. Whole unit 5 or 6 months with vinegar. Usually will see a marked decrease in output, then I know it's time to clean.

 

And where do you get this!

 

What ratio to water do you use withth evinegar, and how long do you let it run.

 

I'm a weenie and can't handle any bad smells (instant migraines and nausea). I rely on my gal to do the cup cleaning, though she did muck it up the last time. The first time I cleaned it was scraping it with a toothpick to get all the chunky stuff and still leave the good slime.

 

;D kids... don't try this at home is that how you get coralline off stuff?? whoops jacking the thread here......sorry

 

I have a coralife ss--I just rinse the cup every few days and use finger under running water to clean the slime off the cone--total clean out every 3-4 mo.

 

I run it strong, 3/1 vinegar/water. Run it for a couple hours, then scrub everything I can get at and rinse well.

 

Bahh! I never understood the thread jacking thing.. isokay!
