Super Mouse Pads

[FastUno]

I am getting a bunch of these to use in my sump to reduce noise vibrations. I will also use these in a BB application & will get a few. I can get them for $8/each & this will cover everyones shipping/handling. If you want just paypal me ([email protected]). Let me know how many & the colors you want.
You have until tonight, 10-11pm or so.

how do we know these are reef safe? or won't leach toxins into the tank?

Maybe he means under his sump?

He clearly states "in sump" and "in a BB situation".

Sorry, my cable modem went out yesterday. Order has been put on hold.

I am told by other reefers (on RC) that they currently have mouse pads in their setups & no negative feedbacks. They said it's made out of neoprene. Do a search on RC for neoprene to satisfy yourself.

I just might have to be the guinie on this one, although you guys are scaring me now!

Most mouse pads are made from neoprene and a top layer of colored nylon. The dye from the color surface will leach into your water, not sure what effect it has.
The neoprene will become sponge like overtime and I am pretty sure it will be a NO3 factory.

IMO you are better off using insulation foam sheets under(not in) your sump and tank for vibration dampening. What kind of pumps are you running with the problem?

I have 1/2 play pad under my 90g & another 1/2" pad under my 30g sump. There is still some residual vibration & I wanted to be safe & sure, so as to not have my neighbhors complain.

Right now I am using this rubberbanded to the base of the skimmer. It seems to be doing the trick.
