![]() I performed the Meshwheel mod on my G3 today, to early to review but the bubbles look smaller and I had to raise my drain tube on it quite a bit, which I think means there is more air. Still need to do the Gate Valve and I'm on the fence about Recirc Mod.
I still need to remove the paint from the back of the 125, and I hope to start removing scratches from the tank on Sunday. |

![]() Luckily the paint is a roll on paint, so I can use a Paint Thinner, just want to avoid getting any on the silicone.

![]() Well the paint is now all scraped off the back.
I also picked up a Gate Valve and MB7 from Ocean Aquatics. I am currently dosing Vodka, so am starting with 10 drops of MB7 Daily this week and will up it to 15 next week, and then 20 the next. I'm really looking forward to the Gate Valve mod for a couple reasons, one is I have always had a pain with the stock set up and two, the sponge on the output is a nasty, nitrate factory but with-out it it's too loud to bear. I'm also going to try and source out a dealer for reflective material tomorrow. Also, since I don't have any on here, I'm going to take a few shots of the tank tomorrow... |

![]() What's MB7?
How are you removing the scratches from a glass tank? |

![]() MB7 is Brightwekk Aquatics MicroBacter 7. Basically dosing good Bacteria in the tank that will feed on Vodka, as opposed to whatever Bacteria is already in the tank. Quite a few on RC are using it with great results.
A co-worker is a hobbyist jeweler and has some jeweler's rouge and buffer that I'm going to use to remove the scratches. |
