Remove yellowing from deltec reactor

[ourcoralreef]

i purchased a used deltec reactor and the tube turned yellow is it possible for me to remove some if not all of the yellowing
(Its possible the yellowing occurred because the person use the reactor for GFO) i don't know what they used it for

the yellowing/browning on an acrylic is definitely from GFO usage. I have no clue how to get it out though.

If it is on the acrylic you can get it looking brand new with the three step Novus system. I used it on a Bubble King that someone used as a bong (I kid you not) and got it brand spanking new looking.

that stuff is reef safe?

I ordered it but i doubt it will work this is a scratch and dirt remover but this thing is really yellow
Was the bubble king yellow or just scratched and dirty

Most likely iron stain from gfo media.
Wet with lemon juice, then sprinkle with salt. Put in plastic bag to keep moist overnight. Next day, fresh juice and salt, light scrub.

Whatever you do don't use bleach, will make it worse

What do you guys think of peroxide with some oxyclean i was reading a article (http://www.exisle.net/mb/index.php?...g-plastic-the-stain-isnt-permanent-after-all/)
of how is removes yellowing from uv exposure might work
I don't know why it turned yellow possibly gfo possibly they left it out in the sun

If it's iron stain oxi clean and peroxide will likely make the stain penetrate deeper. Try lemon and salt first would be my advise

I just took the gfo stain from the reactor i got. I used the novus system. mostly used step 1, in some tougher areas i used step 2. And i barely touched step 3. came out very nice.

Cool! Glad to hear it worked out. The BK had some really nasty stuff in it. I took my time and used a good amount of each step. It came out brand spanking new for me too!

It didn't work for me it could be that it has the yellowing from uv exposure

I'm surprised. My BK was really yellow, almost orange. It's clear as glass now.
