How to Clean Glass Lily Pipes | The Bleach Method

Today I'll walk you through my step-by-step process for how to clean glass lily pipes using a 50/50 bleach/water solution. If you're worried about using bleach, you can rest assured... my method is tried and true. I've been using it consistently for three years and haven't suffered any loss of livestock, post lily pipe cleaning. It's highly important that you use standard bleach. DO NOT USE a splash-less formula or anything with added scents. I recommend cleaning your lily pipes every four to six weeks depending on how quickly they accumulate grime. That will vary depending on the bio-load, lighting, and fertilization schedule of your tank. I hope this tutorial helped you!
