SRC Member sngolf Posted September 27, 2012 SRC Member Share Posted September 27, 2012 Bro, is it safe for the livestock? The foams are good for household-cleaning stubborn stains, even marble floors with stains that cannot be removed with expensive solutions can be removed by the foams. Just wet it n rub on the stains, rinse and use again till they disintegrate. Melamine in milk powder can disfigure and even kill a baby, is it really safe for cleaning inhibited Tanks?

SRC Member ryanlio Posted October 30, 2012 Author SRC Member Share Posted October 30, 2012 Ryan, you sure you really use it to reduce micro-bubbles???!!! This is how I use in my previous setup using deltec apf600.. what happens is 2 prong.. 1. water will flow down from the walls of the panty hose, reducing microbubbles.. 2. The fine mesh will also keep most bubbles within the panty hose.. A company near me uses a fine mesh to prevent rain splash when it's raining, at the same time allows ventilation when it's not raining..

Hth Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2 If this can reduce micro-bubbles, I wonder if it can reduce particles? My display tank is "infested" with particles floating around, using a 200 micron filter bag, doesn't seem to be working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m12345y Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Credit cards!!! As shared by reefers here, credit cards (or other plastic cards) are good in scrapping off the stubborn green spot algae on tank glass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
