Cerium oxide

[Reeferfourlife]

Hi Randy, i was wondering if cerium oxide is poisonous to a reef tank if partical is left in the water? I have scratches that i want to try to remove by using cerium oxide to buff it out. Saw some video and looks promising. Thanks in advance, Simon

I do not really know, but I expect it is rather insoluble.

Randy, thanks for the responds. Guess im going to try and see. Also clean out the best i can.

Sounds good.

Let us know how it goes.

Will definitely report back. Non soluble is a good thing. Means i can have it suspension in water and filter it out for a few days before adding any live rocks or sand.
