I just set up a phospha ban system on my 46 gal bow front. It has been running for about 10 days now and my tank is looking better every day. It was supper easy to instal and is low maintince, and the price was right

You obviously have no clue what is involved when cooking LR.

Most newbs think you put your LR in a pot and cook it on tyhe stove.
