What is the ratio I should use for making vinegar water to clean out my skimmer, and how exactly should I do it?

Vinegar is fairly cheap. What I do is fill my sink half way with slightly warm tap water, then I pour a whole gallon of vinegar in the skimmer. Fire it up for a half hour to an hour, depending on how much coralline is on it. Then I empty it all out then run 5 gallons of r/o through it. If your skimmer is smaller , then you can use half that ratio. Others may have very differing procedures but mine works great for me. I only usually clean only thcollection cup and lid and the whole skimmer gets a cleaning every 4 months. The beauty of a bubble magus.

Start off with 1the cup of vinegar mixed with the water and run it fir a half hour and see if that gets the job done. Just make sure you rinse well with r/o water when your done. And feel free to ask all the questions you need.
