But Arm&Hammer baking soda for dKh supplement. Buy your supplements dry whenever possible, it ends up being much cheaper and is easier to dose then you think.

DIY LEDs saved me big cash, buy good used equipment if your able to find it & my biggest saving is the good old barter system, good all my glass for my 8'- 300 gal tank for a fraction of the price it would have cost to have a builder supply & build my tank. So I guess for me it's the DIY method that really saves me $$$ in the end.
