  1. Shameless plug

    Every month, I have people ask me what I do for a living. When they discover my livelihood comes from Melev's Reef, they always seem to be very impressed. That being said, any order placed with my company helps me stay in business and is greatly appreciated.

    For Black Friday, I put up a number of items on my site that are marked 10%-20% off. If you've been thinking about buying an RO/DI system, a Vortech Mp40wES pump, RO filters & membranes, Phosphate Rx, RedCyano Rx, Safety Stop, ...

    I wanted to do a review of a product that I have been using for about a year, so I feel that I have pretty good experience with it. It is The Flipper glass cleaner. http://www.flippercleaner.com/


    I saw this at MACNA 2012 in Dallas, and after watching a few demos of it in person, I had to have one. The booth at MACNA said it was selling really well, they had gone through all they brought, and promised to ship me one when ...
