This just conjured up images of the mail man from Funny Farm with Chevy Chase.

Baby steps

First dip of the magnet in the mud.

Just swirreled it around a bit. Rinsed the magnet in fresh salt.

I am pulling it all out now.

 

[Stang67]

Rinse water in tupperware.

Magnet under Tupperware swirreled 10 sec.

Oh what you can find when you look for it.

I'm impressed you're going this far. I said f it and pulled all the mud and set up an ATS instead of a refugium :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing:

a drywall screw seems to be the trick in untested iron levels w bare bottom tanks
always seem to find one rotting away in the tanks... :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing: true story...

The previous owner of my tank had a metal hose clamp holding the return line to the pump below the water line. Sold it because of algae issues.

Mud is out. Needed to clean the sump anyway. What's an ATS @danieyella?

Newbies

Thanks! I tried a diy turf scrubber on the old tank. It worked OK, but I really was too new at the hobby to realize what it was or why I needed it. May try one again. I like the fuge for pod real estate. But I have a feeling I just evicted quite a few with the mud removal. Still rocks though.
Changed rodi filters and mixing ca and alk now. Whoo hoo Saturday mornings.

Yup. I miss Fiji Mud. I don't remember there being anything magnetic in that, but maybe I want looking hard enough. I'm still using the Life Source, just making sure to pull out all the magnetic stuff with a strong magnet.
