Just got a Bio wheel 200 filter and was wondering how to clean it, it's been sitting around awhile and has some funky stuff in it I got all new media I just really want to clean the inside good and proper. Thanks for any help.

I'm still a relative n00b at this but I would suggest a clean toothbrush, cold running tap water, and some elbow grease. Is the stuff inside just "hard water" deposits?

unsure about this fitler type...

though the trusty new tooth brush and elbow grease came in handy for a few of my cheap replacement filter media....

must be a easier way though...

some times i soak my old filter in a new salad stirring bowl.. fill with water and spin away....

gets rid of the media pretty damn quick, though make sure you do it in a bigger bowl or be prepared to get mucky...lol
