Cleaning filter hoses

[George Farmer]

My Fluval 204 external has been running for 18 months now and I think the inside of the filter hoses could do with a clean. I'm thinking of removing them completely from the unit and squirting water down them from my garden hose, any other ideas?

get a long piece of flexable wire and attach a piece of rag to one end then thread the wire down the tube and pull the rag through it. I have recently done this to my gravel syphon tube as it was getting mucky, worked like a charm

Sounds good to me. Cheers
