Your welcome. I use them on my setup.

For clamps under water I honestly just use a zip tie or plastic hose clamp.

Zip ties work great

Thanks guys, I found some plastic clamps on Amazon. I was wondering how they hold up. Definitely don't want to go threw this again.

I'm glad you were able to stop the necrosis, those are some nice sized colonies too. Have you ever considered buying 100% pure sodium carbonate from a pool store for your alkalinity replenishment? It cost me like $7 for half a gallon and it has lasted me for years. The dosing rate is 7 grams to raise alkalinity by 1 dkh per 100 gallons.

I was using ME Coral for about 2 years which was basically that but always had lower ph and had to use more. When I switched back to aquavitro the results were noticeable in about a month. It is more expensive but it works well. I use there calcium as well.

Oh wow that stuff is crazy overpriced too. I just dump the pure carbonate directly into my overflow box and it dissolves pretty well in there and gives me a little pH increase. I'm interested in trying that aquavitro calcium though, it seems like it may be more beneficial than what I use now because of the form of calcium it is. I also like that it buffers calcium without affecting alkalinity which I haven't seen before either.

I've been very happy with there products. After using different supplements I can see the difference. Every now and then you can find sales at world wide or other local stores. I try to buy a gallon at a time and that keeps me stocked up for a bit.
