toothbrush question
« on: December 03, 2009, 05:56:18 PM »
So I lost my tank toothbrush. I was wondering if I could use a old one of mine that I used to brush my teeth with, if I give it a vinegar bath will it be okay?

yeah Tobey Id say vinegar bath , I mean hot water will do the trick never seen a toothpaste with holding power. boil some water if your scared and stick it in there it will clean anything off.

I find it to be a very useful tool for reefkeeping.  Of course, outside the tank, I use it to clean equipment.  Inside the tank I use it to scrub algae off rocks or away from frags etc.

i find that using the brush after cleaning the tank leaves a nice pleasant film on my teeth that prevents tartar build up...just an fyi.

are you that hard pressed to clean your tank that you cant wait for a ride to get a toothbrush? lol...must be one dirty tank.

but really you should be fine either boiling water and cleaning a used brush or a vinegar bath.
