TIme to clean my skimmer

[Paul C.]

So my Reef octopus XS160 Seems to have stopped producing bubbles like in the past. After 3-4 months I'm assuming its time for a big cleaning. So, my question is this...Do i take it apart clean and reassemble? OR Soak it in vinegar? If i soak it, how long, and should i run the pump while its in the vinegar or apart soaking? Thanks Paul C.

I do not have this skimmer but I have always taken my skimmers apart for cleaning

i always take mine apart and soak it in hot water for 10 to 15 minutes then if you have a spary nozzle on your sink spray what i can out of it
