    No I don't :/ but if I need to buy one I definitely will. I need to buy a calc test and an alk test first, then B ionic dosing, and then I can buy the ac.

    I have a CPR backpack with a bunch of live rock and filter floss. I have an extra filter that I'll try to see if I can mod.

    Topfin. Its like the emperor 400. I made it! It was pretty easy. All I had to do was cut some eggcrate for it. It's not the prettiest but it sure is gonna help. I put some rubble in it and some frag plugs. I will add chaeto and filter floss at some point.
