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?

[ryanlio]

Yup.. it's not chemically treated...

interesting concept. Would it affect my ph ? The after clean up ?

[ryanlio]

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..

Ryan, you sure you really use it to reduce micro-bubbles???!!!

[Gouldian]

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
   

Got from a friend who owns a restaurant and uses it for daily washing of her kitchen.

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..

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.

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.
