Is there a way to get old Vortech Dry side surface material back to how they felt when new? My old M10/40s just feel gummy and gross. There has to be some kind of rubber rejuvenation product out there?
What do others do to clean them up?
Currently about to clean my tank completely to tear it down and set it back up after losing a battle with GHA and lobophora algae, that’s now in my equipment.
What are the best ways to completely clean and sterilise my equipment so there’s no risk of transferring any algae spores or other...
I have a like new Pentair 80w UV . In excellent condition, will come with plumbing as I had it, all items as new, and a wall mount kit. Works great and huge discount from new! Will ship for a fee, would prefer local as it's so big. Still have the original box.

I am sure someone has posted it somewhere on this forum but I have done a quick search and read a few threads so thought I would post instead.
I purchased a used tank and there is some saltwater residue, calcification or haze or something that I cannot remove.
I have used the following...
Hello
A few months have now passed since the start of my nano reef tank and it's very good.
I did without a skimmer and sump and wanted a clean and simple look. It works very well
The tank is supplied with Triton for other methods, which is dosed 4 times a day.
I do a 30L water change and...
I Love my Sailfin (Sully) and Hippo (Jory) I take corals from my other 5 saltwater tanks and they "clean" them up for me :) then I can usually return them nice and clean in about 15 min. Better then adding more chemicals plus they get a treat :) I discovered this by accident when I took all...
Hi just cleaned my power head for first time….. when I’ve put it back in tank it’s turned red it places. Any ideas?
Just used hot tap water and brush to clean..
Hi. I have an all in one 20 gallon Red Sea Nano Max. I clean the protein skimmer cup weekly. But there is build up at the bottom of the skimmer. How do I best clean that. Do I need to take the entire assembly out? Thank you!
How do I clean this white stuff from the back of my tank? It’s really hard to get of, before I set the tank up I jet washed it, I scrubbed it, I used a knife and a razor and nothing worked!! So I gave up and set up regardless because I was told it’s harmless but now I’m curious if there was ever...
Thought someone might find this interesting, doing a regular deep clean of my skimmer and had the pump apart after letting it run in a hot water acid bath. when i pulled out the impeller i was greeted with a impeller full of pet hair. Maybe someone will go clean there pumps now.
I got some secondhand corals and I’m trying to clean them up. Are the white tubes anything to worry about? I know the brown tubes are feather worms.
Backstory: Yesterday I bought a tank and I didn’t realize it still had fish and corals in it. The tank was nasty and very under maintained. I...
It’s me again. Between googling and reading comments through multiple forums, there’s a lot of good advice but it varies enough to sometimes become a bit confusing. I’m curious how often everyone cleans their tanks (water replacement, sand/gravel cleaning, etc...). I understand this will differ...
This is my newest tank, I still haven't put all of my live rock in I just moved it in my room on Sunday.. and I need to add more sand on top of that. There's not too much more work on it but there is still work needed. My two sharks love it so far the only 3 live rock I have in there at the...
I have one tank with lots of xenia growing all over that I have to regularly prune and another tank with no xenia. The tank with the xenia consistently has lower nitrates than the one without. It also seems to require much less maintenance. Is the xenia consuming the nutrients in my tank an they...
Its usually a decent sign of quality water conditions, but I’ve never been a big fan of the back wall covered in coralline. Looks a kind of dirty. But at this point I can’t really bring myself to take the time and scrape it off. Someone scrape this crap off the tank walls for me lol
How do...
I have a pair of these but hate to clean them, which I just did. I was wondering if I sprayed the parts with food grade silicone would it make them easier to clean? Would it have any detrimental effect on the fish or corals?
Why don't the Teflon coat them when they make them? Would be worth...

I have tried for weeks around my LFS and even resorted to Algae barn but no one around me is selling Chaeto. I was just wondering if anyone would be willing to pack some up (small amount) and ship it.
Just a little tip that I have never seen anyone mention on R2R before. A little background first..
It is still fairly warm right now in New England and my apartment gets pretty warm with the afternoon sun still. While at work, my ReefAngel warned me of an overheat flag. Odd, perhaps the...
As the title says: what is the best/fastest way to clean the pH probe without damaging it? I'm currently soaking it in 50/50 rodi/white vinegar for several hours.
