I wouldnt use bleach but vinegar instead. Vinegar breaks down coralline and any cemented critters and rinses clean. When I vlean my skimmer and poweheads I just run them in vinegar for an hour, wipe them then rinse and back in they go.

I used to use vinegar but it seems like it would never clean the soft stuff very easily. Even at a strong concentration that ended up softening the power cable on my return pump, it wouldn't clean everything up. Perhaps I need to try a different type.

Thanks. No, didn't win the lottery. I'm fortunate enough to work of sales commission and had a good year. Not going to lie, nearly everything I make goes into this project currently. I'll have over $50K in it before stocking and that doesn't include the industrial chiller and stand by generator I'm going to need. I never intended on going this out of control but it escalated quickly after ordering the sump. I often think about my dream corvette I could have sitting in the garage. However, this hobby is one of the few things in life that I've found to help take the edge off an extremely stressful day. Assuming I'm not coming home to a tank melt down or my prized fish on the floor.

I settled for a smaller tank and the corvette!
