Stu Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 I've got about 40 gallons of used bio balls from a friend's old tank. Is it possible to reuse these. If so, how do I go about cleaning them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snaggle Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 I had a bunch of used ones before I just soaked them in water ad then used my shower to rinse them clean once all the crap was loosened up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nandopsis Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 I would boil them after you wash the junk off of them. Just to make sure to kill any bad things that may be clinging on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Chicklets Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 I soaked mine in the laundry sink overnight with a half cup of bleach added. Then just rinsed them and all was good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
