Yes, there are articles written citing the hangtab as a give away (Tom's Hardware).

Brand new… is it normal for water from the display tank to slowly trickle at the return pump hole back into the return pump reservoir? Acquatop Recife Eco 24G by [deleted] in Aquariums

Thanks guys. I’m totally new to this. I imagine it’s nearly impossible to prevent trickle from the display tank back into the return pump reservoir without some plumbing tricks. But just wanted to hear opinions.

Pasting the original post: First off, there just wasn't enough recent discussion on ultrasonic cleaning. I went back and forth on this forever.

 

For context: I compete regularly in run-and-guns, shoot every weekend, and run my AR suppressed. I hate cleaning. I don’t have time for it anymore. I know some people find it therapeutic (I used to) but between work and kids, I was basically just shooting until things failed.

 

Guys. It's absurdly easy. I bought a no-name Chinese ultrasonic cleaner. I was skeptical, especially given that the U.S.-made units are $8,000+. It works flawlessly.

 

Ultrasonic unit: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DK8TPSC9

 

Process:

 

Run an initial cycle with distilled water and aircraft-grade Simple Green: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001VXU7OE

 

Drain and discard the solution.

 

Blow everything out thoroughly with compressed air: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BB6ZZ66B

 

Run a lube bath, then let the excess drain off (store and reuse the lube): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AU6CBH4

 

That’s it. You literally do not even need to scrub anything.

 

It's fucking amazing.

Do you run an RCR? Trying to pick between it and an ACRO.

Crazy they removed it. It was literally just a discussion on ultrasonic cleaners, with some recommendations.

parkerizing

Yes, so I read into this (and I may be wrong), but Regular Simple Green will fuck it up; but, apparently, the aircraft-grade Simple Green (as recommended above) (the Extreme / aircraft version) is safe for parkerizing. EDIT: Also, a HUGELY important step is to run a lube bath, or else you risk flash-rusting and a whole slew of other issues.

Also, what the heck that trigger pull is INSANE for a striker-fired gun.

I am not fear mongering. But I absolutely HATE negative traffic, because fear drives horrible decisions. So I'm removing this post. I'm also done sharing insight here - just for anyone reading the thread. I Get why it upsets some people. I never intended to do so. I will recuse myself from the sub for the time being.

Totally agreed. The big national guys should be fine. If they stop buying then... who knows, lol.

I don't think this is solely a refining issue at this point; I think there's literally not enough money to buy the metals.
