I wish they still had those sponges without the green scrubby part attached.

Also you can add Lemon Juice?

I get the microfiber sponges. Lemon juice is a good addition.

Interesting use for it. I will add it to the list.

Swing by the kitchen area and grab some measuring cups, measuring spoons, and plastic tubs for dipping coral or as temp holding while you shuffle things around. There's even a 3 liter pitcher that can be used for mixing Alk, Calcium, Magnesium supplements.

Nice I will add them to the list.

I've used those for several years in freshwater canister filters. They work great in place of bioballs.

Also, the sponges with the green scrubby part are good polishing sponges if you cut the green part off and they don't break down and pollute the water.

They do have plain sponges. I just get the microfiber sponges.

The plain sponges break down fairly rapidly from my experience.

What about magic erasers? I've always heard they are reef safe.

For scrubbing the glass, yes. As a polishing sponge filter they will break down over time.

They have scented ones right? Make sure they're unscented.

Toilet Bowl brush for cleaning internal skimmer body
Soap holder with suction cup and the large holes in the bottom: Frag Rack and mushroom box

Colanders! Useful for dipping, housekeeping, etc. Also great when aquascaping to filter out the smaller dust/rubble to cover up seams.

Forget I tried to help. I can't delete all of my posts or my account or I would. I'm so very sorry I caused so many problems.

For media, you want the scrubbers:

I was talking about sump sponges between the baffles. I use those scrubbers in place of Bio-Balls.

 

[FUNGI]

For under the tank sump/storage area

Those are a good idea!
