I am having a problem and I don’t find an answer anywhere. When I clean my tanks I also clean the filter unit completely (as I can). However I cannot find a bottle or tube brush small and flexible enough to clean around the corners of the tubing. Has anyone found a source for these? J.M.

Flexible tube cleaning brushes come with the major brands of canister filters for snaking through the hoses. I’ve acquired several in “deluxe” canister packages (Magnum 350 for one, I think). They have a short section of bottle brush bristles on a three or four foot section of plastic line. I think I’ve seen them offered as accessories in the major on-line aquarium catalogues, but I don’t have any numbers handy. The three brush aquarium set that Wal-Mart sells has two smaller brushes that are pretty flexible and they can can be bent on the end to get at corners (but not around corners like the hose cleaners above). Hope this helps. Todd J.M. Moon wrote:
