Cleaning power heads and aquarium equipment
Coralline algae looked awesome on rocks but can become an issue when it covers your aquarium equipment.
With enough buildup Power heads can slow down or even stop… This could lead to disaster if they are unable to turn on after a power outage and should be cleaned every few months. Heaters and other equipment can also loose efficiently as they they get coated im coralline.
But don’t worry there is a very easy fix! The secret to dissolving it is a very common household acid.. Vinegar! Just soak your equipment in vinegar for a few hours and the coralline will dislike and turn to mush. A quick rinse/wipe and your equipment will look like new!
Before the soak
After a couple hours in a vinegar bath.. And it’s like new!
