Hello all


I have a tank that’s about almost two years of age. Waterbox 90.3.


I went and took a peek into my overflow box and was stunned how much algae and build up on the main drain opening there was.

I ended up shoving a brush down there and cleaning it but can’t seem to find a way else to clean drain and return line. Because now I think they need a good scrubbing.

What’s the best way to do this?

I’m honestly thinking of just replacing all the plumbing on it. Lemme know what yall think

I was able to find a cleaning kit on Amazon think it's a hygger brand but It has a glass scrapper and cleaning sponge sand rake and also a stiff round brush attachment with a long extendable handle i clean my drain lines with it every 3 months or so. It brushes a good amount of crap into my filter sock.
