Thanks for all the responses. I have the red macro because it is nicer to look at, the urchin likes it and it outcompetes the chaeto so likely good for nutrient export. There isn't much flow, but I'm...

Bassman, I might try that, though I would be surprised if the light weren't enough. It's 18W of 6700K light over about 1-1.5 gallons of water in the fuge area.

Here's a full tank shot after the move (lighting is temporary). Still looking for opinions on whether the urchin would be better in the refugium or the main tank. Also ideas on a second...

Tank transfer
It's finally running! I transferred all the livestock and fixed up the sump last night. Found my pom pom crab in the process--glad he's still alive, but I wish he would come out once in a while.

Keri,
Ocean Aquatics sells these--might be the same one that DrsFosterSmith has. I didn't find it on their website, so you might have to call them. It's sure to be cheaper than cross-border...

Finally, saltwater in the tank! I ripped apart the return plumbing and redid it. Much better now with no leaks. The only issue is the swing check valve--when I cut power to the return pump the flap...

Rona silicone
Hi all,
Just noticed today that Rona's store brand silicone claims to be safe for aquarium use, unlike many of the GE products. They have clear but I didn't see any black. About $4 for a 300 mL...

Leak test
First leak test tonight. The return plumbing is pretty leaky--I used a few pieces of plumbing intended for sprinklers that seem not to be a perfect fit with the rest of the 3/4" PVC. It's glued well...
