LOL... too funny 1gallon of water to 1 cup vinegar. Let power head run in it over night and it will be as clean as new. I have done this to a few power heads in my time always works. I run them in a 5g pail with the mixture but I dubble it IO bucket work very good and you can seal it after use for the next time.

And I thought I was being lazy cleaning it once every 2 weeks.

In my disPlay it wouldn't fly but in my small ank kinda has it's place , that powerhad has never been cleaned in about a year lol . I leave one side of glass free fro algae to grow my 50+ snails love it they hang on the glass there it's no problem to pull sone algae and grab a few snails I was blessed with a few batches of baby turbo snails a while back their actually getting quite large

free snails!!!!

I'm lucky mine never get that bad. My mexican turbo snails jump on my powerheads every few days or so and clean them up for me
