I physical stood in the middle of the tank cleaning the excess silicon on the bottom, with no issuse, so that's 195 lbs on 1 foot getting in, so that's a lot of pressure per square inch.

Mike

I bought the refractometer from Bulk Reef Supply

Ray from Reef Supplies Canada is selling them now

Went through the diatom phase, now into my green hair algae phase, picked up 14 Mexican Turbo snails, actually found a snail with aptasia on it, removed the aptasia from the snail.

Change about 50 gallons of water to remove some phospahates, add Seachem PhosGuard to my reactor, 4 days ago, willl be doing another 30 gallon changeover today.

Purchased a Tunze ATO and a Marine Magic dosing systen NIB from a canreef member, so I had to change my mounting panel design.

Nice build dude I can't wait to setup my build in the basement soon as I'm done with the Reno's! looking at a similar sized tank.

How do you find your Chromis so far, are they showing any aggression towards each other?
