  1. MB7 and Cyano.

    Interested in your opinion on this.
    I've seen it happen in two tanks where the first tank was struggling with HA and I suggested to the owner to dose MB7 to deal with it. It did take care of the HA after the loading period and a couple of weeks at the weekly dose dose. few weeks later at the weekly dose Cyano appeared and didn't stop even with syphoning and additional MB7 dosing.

  2. Wall unit construction

    Finally got to go see the Wall unit, the builder opted to display it for us at his workshop to see it, to avoid changes to be made after it's installed...

  3. Maroun.c Frag Setup

    As if I wasn't busy enough with the 390 G Tank build, I'm also starting the build of a fragging setup in my basement.

  5. Tank Stand

    Stand was delivered.
    4x4 cm 3mm think steel (1.6x1.6 inch 1/8" steel bars)
    Was 2.5 inches taller than ordered so had to cut down a bit from the legs, hopefully that won't make it very hard to clean under it.
    Also wasn't impressed by the epoxy paint they did so had it resanded and repainted on site by 3 coats of epoxy. which took a few days to get done.
