Filter Pipe Clean

[Jatman]

Hello all,

I am new to this website and hope to be on here more often also new to fish keeping since a while.

Just wondering i have a small tank with a filter inside which pumps water into the tank through filtration, just wondering what is the best way to clean the clear pipe as it builds up limescale and then blocks up the holes for the water to come back into the tank.

Many thanks

Vinegar should get it off with a little work and a scrubbing pad. Don’t use any chemicals cause it well most likely kill your fish.

I use an old, well cleaned toothbrush. You can get into it and around the holes.
