Wow, just reading that description... They managed to put a copious amount of buzzwords in there. Makes it sound like it's a whole foods, organic, free range, homeopathic, immune boosting, cure all for whatever ails your tank. Wonder if it cures cancer?

I still have my eyes and all my skin!! Didn't even wreck any clothes. Didn't really work though I think the glass is etched permanently but with it filled I can't see the stains. I tried on a different piece of glass and the hard water stains came right off though so it definitely works quickly.

So this needs to stay off the silicone? I've read some google searches that have given some good ideas about using this stuff.

I have some scale build up on a new tank I got used. The vinegar trick didn't work so someone suggested muriatic acid. How do I do this? Normally I would put paper towel on the area I wanted to treat and then soak it with vinegar. Will that still work?

Ya, I think I get about 7' from windshield to end of trunk in the car lol. That's good news about the reflectors. I couldn't find any info online about places that sell t5 reflectors in town. I like the open top look on my tanks so I'm not building a whole plywood canopy, I was just going to have the gutters sitting on top of the tank. But things like putting vent holes in it wouldn't have occured to me.

I'm slowly collecting equipment to set up a 46 bowfront tank as a planted tank. 1) If I use 2 t5ho bulbs would that be too much light? I plan on using CO2, I have a hagen glo t5 ballast system so no relfectors with the lights. Do I even need reflectors? 2) Where is a good place to get reflectors? I'm going to try the gutter DIY so they need to fit in that. 3) How do you fit a 10' section of rain gutter in a 4 door honda civic? Even with the seat down!!! 4) Has anyone come across a good DIY plan for a rain gutter canopy? My DIY ambitions are high but sometimes the forethought is lacking, and I'd like it to look nice. Thanks!!!

If it's a 20oz bottle why don't you go to a paintball place and turn it in? Someplaces will give you a discount on the new bottle you buy to replace it.

This is happening to me now. I've checked the side bar and it's checked on 'content I have not read'. I haven't been on in a while so there should be oodles of stuff there but nada.

Can you flatten out the substrate profile at the front of the tank? Also, lose all the stuff off the top of the tank, sometimes it's not just what's in the tank that makes us satisfied with our work. One of the chain swords would probably be your best bet for carpeting, and should move fairly quickly. Echinodorus tenellus would be my first choice and then Lilaeopsis brasiliensis but that might be a little slower.

Lettuce is grown hydroponically in styrofoam rafts. I've used ivy and jasmine above tanks before. Jasmine smells so nice!!!

But in an African tank where the fish like liquid rock, is limestone actually going to be bad? Our water is already hard enough and with regular water changes I don't think it makes much of a difference.

I got tired of looking on the internet for a Canadian company, I'm sure there is one out there. I ordered from the meshcompany, which is where the youtube clip got his from. I got the heat shrink tubing from ebay as well. The problem with the really big stuff is that it's kinda thick and that was probably the hardest part of making the filter guard.

Just like anything sharp or metal that you use in water, dry it off after and it should be fine. I've got several of the cheapo ebay scissors in different curves and they've held up well.

ebay is always a great place to shop.

Found it!!!
