Godly3vil Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 Soak them in hotwater and maybe bleach? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 I removed them from mine. Even when clean they will reduce output. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dana Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 I bought a second hand tank where my light covers were so calcified, even sunlight didn't penetrate. I tried vinegar and all natural products. In the end, I removed them, washed with a mild CLR solution and rinsed about 3 thousand times, before drying and then rinsing another 3 thousand times. Came up like crystal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
