I did'nt have to with my Alpha Cone 250 but I did with thr BK Mini 180. Weird as they are made by the same manufacturer.

Kind of hard to use vinegar when its in the sump already. So never used vinegar on the Tunze.

It does seem to be a hit & miss on which ones need time. Thats even stranger when its the same manufacturer.

I think the Cones are made for BK by Vertex and the BK are made by themselves (I remember reading it on Reefbuilders when the cones came out).

No it's made by Royal Exclusive who makes both. At least that's what is carved in to the skimmer lid and also the same materials. I'm sure Albert will chime in to confirm.
