New Filter

[PrettyDiscus]

I have just bought an eheim 2028 external filter from e-bay. The guy that sold it to me didnt bother cleaning any of it so i need to know how i can steralize it. The whole filter needs cleaning including the hoses. Should i fill filter with boiling water to steralize it?

One part bleach to twenty parts water is a standard solution for sterilizing. Rinse well with tap water afterwards.

Baby bottle sterilising tabs would probably work as well
