He might ask his pet stores association friends located around the country to deliver the stock or goods while he delivers theirs locally in his area.

I have no clue about saltwater. I am sure it is not much different. Go with what you like. Saltwater is usually more complicated I guess but Anoxic Filter can be used for saltwater too.

Just a doubt, what did you use to water proof that wooden cover ?

Amazon.in

Good question. This on all lids. Working good for now. Polished screws as well.

Thanks for product info, I will have to buy this.
Bamboo-ply based wooden cover of my small tank almost petrified. Will repair and apply this coating.

If possible dry it under direct sun. Should be super dry before you apply this and do 2 coats after a gap of 20 mins or more.

My friend toady called me and said that he will personally deliver via Air Mail & visit your house and fit everything but for a price he said so. If you are interested please do call him. Thanks.

SUMP Cover to reduce evaporation.

Just to reiterate, this was doing fishless cycle. These numbers are very extreme. Epic in fact! 4/5 PPM ammonia takes about a week to get down to 0. AFS wiped out 8 PPM to 0 in 48 hours!!!!! I hope hobbyists in this forum understand how great this is:

That is lot of hard work man, fully respect your DYI efforts to maintain quality.
Doubting now you will end up doing rocket science in the end

It is a tough fight for me. My tap water has 40 ppm nitrates. At this level hobbyists do a water change!
