removing rust from the tank.....MAGNET!!!!
« on: May 11, 2009, 05:45:22 PM »
Well I cleaned my tank with this evaporust... it looked pretty clean. I then installed two in line filters(clear) man my tank was still dirty. So tonight i took a  flexable magnet and boy was i surprised how much rust stuck to the magnet. Repeated this several times the amount or rust i removed was amazing!!!
