Soak them in white vinegar for a few hours and then use a stiff brush to clean them.

Oh ok because I tried to use a scrub brush on it and I got some of it but there's still some on it but do you just soak it in straight vinegar and I guess after it soaks you want to clean it in regular water and you can do this with the skimmer pump to

Vinegar will dissolve all kind of calcium deposits as coralline is one it will get rid of it pretty much.
Straight vinegar without scrubbing is even better.
Yes just rinse your pump in regular water before back in the sump.
