I have a small glass inlet on filter on my Betta tank which is a pain to clean. The combination of 8mm pipework, only one end being accessible and the curve of the glass means cleaning the but near the actual inlet is neigh on impossible. It is too small for pipe brushes, toothbrushes.....
I have been using pipe cleaners which do a good job to a point but it is difficult to get them right round the top curve and then you have. O leverage.
Will bleach actually remove this stuck on grime? If I use baby sterilising bleach (which I have to hand) would it need soaking or should washing it actually be sufficient? If using bleach how long does prime take to make it safe? Can I just wash it in dechlorinated water or does it need time to soak in order to neutralise the bleach?
