Cleaning Bubble Wall

[Klane]

Anyway, back to my SpongeBob tank, the bubble wall (think that's what
it's called) has four holes for air. Two of them seem to be plugged. I
dug around and there isn't anything in there that I can see, so I'm
asking how to clean it.

Also, if I do find a used 10 gallon, is there any treatment I should do
before I set it up?

Soak in vinegar for a day or 3 and then give a good hose down with high
pressure. Should do the trick.

I tried the air pump and it worked like a charm. I pushed slowly so
that I wouldn't break anything and it cleared things out. The first
opening works a little oddly, instead of a steady stream of bubbles it
waits a second or two and then belches out a big bubble, but the other
opening is working just like the rest.

Thanks ton. It's only about 3 or 4 weeks old so I hoped it didn't need
to be cleaned out yet.
