Cleaning reservoir?

I usually just bring mine in to the kitchen..and hit it with a sponge and physan 20. If my tables are super dirty or stained from nutrients and muck..I will throw some bleach on it...but I always rinse it well when dealing with bleach.
Try some of those green scrubby pads....that should help.

I just clean with a brillo pad and a tiny bit of physan 20.
Yes, there is stuff that is so hard or in a crack so small I can't get off. I don't worry about it though. If I can't even get it off with cleaner and scrubbing then I doubt it'll cause me any problems.
Maybe a power washer would do it?

I use hot water and oxy clean. Then I rinse it down and spray with 5% bleach solution and let it air dry. Then rinse and fill. I also clean the PVC down tube defuser in the same manner.

I will recommend the two-part bleach from Ona, you can supposedly clean a system with the plants still alive in the system but, I've never tried that yet! I run it over night and it does help loosen the crusties that build up. In the end though I still use a scrubby and comet as last phase cleaning.
Good luck, Peace

The white pads made for cleaning acrylic sold at aquarium supply places/pet stores work very well. I clean my ez-cloner with it with warm water and it gets the salts and other stuff off no problem.

I use this stuff called PBW (Powdered Brewery Wash) Its for cleaning brewery equipment and all the crap that dries and cakes on fermenters and such. You just add it to water and let it sit overnight. It's completely non-toxic and since its made for breweries it rinses of really easy. (caint have any weird residues in the finished beer). I got some used 100 gal res's a while back and they had shit caked on them like cement. I had to let them sit for a couple days but PBW was the only thing that would touch that stuff. I get it off ebay fwiw.
I would have to recommend "Mr Clean Magic Eraser" that along with bleach will strip any salt buildups away with np. Something magic about those magic erasers and they do work like a charm.
