I cleaned them two months ago. Hard to believe this much algae has built up since then.

Hour long citric acid bath, then scrubbed with a nylon brush. Good as new. The pumps are currently running in a bucket of RODI water.

I hope the fish are ready when I put the pumps back in, because its gonna be a maelstrom in that tank with these newly cleaned pumps.
