You can try soaking it overnight in a vinegar/water mixture. When I clean powerheads, I let them soak overnight and it always seems to loosen up any gunk.

Yep I'd do the soak for a day. Should come right up. I'm not positive but you may be able to use muriatic acid as well. If I remember right it is used in home swimming pools and can be found in the pool section of stores like walmart and such. I wouldn't try this without asking if it is safe though.
