Bioballs How to Clean them.

[amazontank]

Just wanted to ask any ideas on how to clean 200 gallons of Bioballs.

I try and soak them and I try and use hose sprayer and seems to take forever for each one.

They have deposits on them that wont come off. Deposits are from a saltwater set up.

Soak them in something like vinegar perhaps? Is it salt deposit or coraline algae?

Looks like Salt deposits. It wont just come off with a normal hose pressure sprayer like I been trying.

Soak them in hot water?

I just did this yesterday for about 4 hrs lol...i used a milk crate to put the balls in then high pressure from the hose outside. I spent alot of time cleaning one at a time as they were filled with freshwater debris. Agreed a good soak in hot vinegar water will help and i hope someone has a better idea hah...its too bad we just cant swap lol i need the bio for saltwater and u need it for fresh.
