Neptune Aquatics

Michael's 168 build

Neither would break or leak if made properly and supported with a good stand. I am leaning towards a custom crystal dynamics tank like the last one I have. The euro brace and reinforced seams have held up really well.
Oops I meant which is *less* likely to break/leak, if you are looking for deciding factors, or an interesting project. From the sims I’ve seen it seems like the bottom center seam on the long panels gets a lot of stress.
 
What's your biggest phosphate number? I just set a new record!

Anyone ever see their phosphate test water turn visibly blue?

What's your method of addition? Also if you have any flatworms or feather duster worms curious if you saw any ill effects to them?

I dropped it into the skimmer neck, but I dosed so much at a time that the tank got cloudy. I then add 5 gallons of salt water to bring my skimmer level up and run a siphon from the skimmer cup to wet skim it out. I did not see any negative effects on feather dusters /tube worms.
 
Starting the teardown.

And the cooling fan blades.


Look at all these vermitids!!! That's not cleaning it for 2-3 years. It is a solid mass of vermitids.
