Chuckie Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 um ... dont! Just rinse/squeeze them in a bucket of tank water when they get clogged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callatya Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 well, sometimes they look a bit grotty on the outside, and sometimes you just haven't cleaned them in a month or so I just swoosh mine in a bucket once a month, the water is almost always black!

y2jdaze Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 so given I haven't touched mine in about 4-6 months I should do that *thinks* ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callatya Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 Probably a good plan enjoy the water! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
