I soaked in hot water and rinsed it very well, I wasn’t sure if I could boil it though, so I just used really hot tap water instead. It’s also been sitting outside on the porch for about 5 months I don’t like using bleach, I guess I tend to mess […]

I see this one, yes. Ram’s are not too easy to find, there are a few sellers on aquabid.com though if you are looking for them.
