You can find it here. But like I said this is the old version. The new version uses Sponge Power instead of Zeofood.

Farco plastics is a no-go. I emailed them yesterday via their web-form and they said they are only distributors. Followed up today to see if they have any reccomendations for manufacters to cut and glue my 3/8" acrylic to at least 1/16" tolerance.
Edit: Still waiting to hear back from American Plastics on Adamo.

When I built my first sump I bought the acrylic from them and they cut it to my specs. But they are a distributor. I can probably get that done if you'd like.

Happy New Year everyone. Update on the tank.
Well I had a minor major setback. I will take responsibility and blame no one. My problems actually started about the middle of December at the one month mark of my tank. A reefer broke his tank down and I came across a killer deal on an Achilles tang with a orange shoulder. The person holding the tangs said they were in copper and all was good. Well two weeks later it wasn't. Out of the blue the Achilles caught ich but was eating well, or so I thought. Long story short he ended up being fish jerky and the next day afterwards the orange shoulder was dead in the overflow grate.
Problem two. I have been fighting phosphates as my red sea algae control kit went to crap and was saying my phosphates were around .16 which was sorta normal considering going with the zeovit they were bringing those levels down, or so I thought. Actual phosphates were .36. So since I had been successful with the LaCl treatment, I would use it to lower my phospates, or so I thought. I had to get a new bottle of sea klear and it matched the original bottle except it said commercial and not pool like the other bottle. Long story short I over dosed and now the death toll is
1 - Blue Eye Kole Tang
1 - Starry Blenny
2 - Black Ocellaris
1 - Regular Ocellaris
1 - Pair of Blue Throat Trigers
1 - Male Lyretail Anthias
and a lot of stressed fish. My Vlamingi and Desjardini had burn marks on their body and lots of heavy breathing. So I did 50 gallon water changes every other day for a week up until yesterday. Most of the marks are gone but I think my Vlamingi has lost its sight because i have hand feed him because he cant find the food unless he senses the algae or whatever is fed.
It also time to do my Zeovit stone exchange once my order arrives this weekend. I also ordered the Biomate to help reduce my phosphates. Its also time for me to change all the cartridges for my RO/DI unit as it has been a couple months and also probably the results of my high phosphates.
New Years Resolution(Yea Right), seriously, is to use the KISS method and follow it to the T. No more trying to do 2-3 things to solve one problem which is band aiding a problem that I dont want to take responsibility for.
So that is it for now. Thank you everyone for helping me be the reefer I am and for the support and being there for me. I will always be greatful to have a great group of guys/girls in this hobby.
Happy New Year

I dosed it in the overflow box which leads to 10 micron filter socks. I think the fact that it was a comercial bottle and not the normal pool bottle that it was more concentrated than normal and that did me in. Or the fact that it counteracted with the zeovit and that might have had some effect also.
