 |  Identifying a product...
Stopped by a fish store the other day and discovered a product that is pretty much a magnet inside a tube. What it does is pull apart molecular bonding between chemicals I add to the tank like calcium, strontium and trace elements. Theoritically, what this does is replace the need to do the water change. I would buy it from the store but they are EXPENSIVE and usually price is 150% higher then what I can find from the net. Can anyone help. |

I must not have paid attention in Chemistry class |

I saw an article where someone dismantled one and found a plastic tube, some magnets, and some insulating tape.
Very high tech.

i think this would fall into that category of novice reefkeepers that were somehow persuaded by a lfs employee to purchase a sohal surgeonfish for their nano tank and complete water changes with homemade copper infused tap water. no offense ghost but it sounds like a joke and a gimmick to those who are lazy enough in trying to cut corners. just my humble opinion of course..... _________  | |
