What is your go to site to buying new blades?

I made the mistake to be lazy and forgot to drain the water and as I went to use it today the blade had some rust on it so I’m just going to replace the blade and not chance any infections

Nobody with these saws has bothered to answer?

I don't have one but to tune up a rusty blade I would probably just cut up a clay brick or slice through a few pieces of live rock to knock the rust off. It's an interesting thought about the coral. I wonder if coral can get lock jaw from a rusty blade? I always cringe a little as the blade goes through the flesh, can't shake that horrible thought that the animal is alive while I am slicing it into frags. I wonder if anyone uses antibiotics in the cooling water?

Anybody?

I ordered cheaper ones that ended up not being gryphon brand... looked bigger and thicker. Cheapest place I could find to get the gryphon brand was thru their actual website and get a double pack or through aquarium specialty.

I’m not RHF but I know a little chemistry.
Rust is also not that toxic in small amounts. Iron oxide, also known as ferric oxide. Anyone ever worry about the toxicity of GFO? But I do understand. Who wants to do anything that results in stress and brown jelly.
