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?

Inwear.. Yes it will drop your Ph as it's acidic. I only use 2ml tops per day.. continue over a few days depending on amount of pest..

I use 5% white distilled vinegar to:

  1. remove calcium deposit on equipment
  2. general cleaning and disinfecting of cabinet
  3. glass cleaning
  4. carbon dosing if run out of vodka
  5. have not tried it but I believe it can kill aiptasia

This is how I use in my previous setup using deltec apf600.. post-3704-13515662644209_thumb.jpg

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..

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.
