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

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

I am pulling it all out now.
 
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...
 
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.
