Power head cleaning

[reefwars]

Hydrogen peroxide works well too

I have a container that I fill with vinegar. I put my powerheads, anything plastic that needs to be cleaned into that and let it soak for about 30-45 min. It ends up looking pretty gross. Then I scrub with a toothbrush in the vinegar. I then scrub again and rinse under warm water. They come out looking brand new.

just buy a new one. If you're using vortechs, can buy the wet side cage replacements for $5. I stock up on them.

Gregg, J&L sells all replacement parts for vortechs. You can buy the whole wet side of an mp40 for about 85 bucks, or just components of it.

I've bought MP10 wetsides from them for $58
But you said $5 for the cage ( nozzle )
I was just curious where you get one so cheap
