Good reminder. I've only properly cleaned my skimmer once since I got it, and now the bottom of it has more life on it than some of my live rock! I'm sure that can't be good for the pump.

We have a jug of 'cleaning strength' vinegar that I use on my MP10 wet sides, and it works great. I use it @ about 20-30 %, but don't really measure it

I'm sure it's twice the cost, and only use half as much

FWIW, it doesn't work any faster

Where do you even get cleaning strength vinegar? When I do my powerheads I end up going through an insane amount of vinegar because I don't like to dilute it, but I need enough to fill a bowl high enough to cover all parts of the disassembled power heads

My wife bought Allen's double strength cleaning vinegar for me from either Price Smart or Save-On - she doesn't recall
