I've never seen those fittings in person, I'm interested to hear if any Canadian vendors carry such a thing.

You're welcome. Leave the mirror on there for a week or so. That will give the Hawkfish time to settle in and hold his own as well as allow the other fish to settle down.

I've found a person has to be very careful with biopellets because they are VERY aggressive and can easily cause more harm than good. I'm glad to hear the cyano is nearly forgotten. :D
