hello scott, I am very interested in a frag ! Just beginning to add corals to 100G and have a perfect spot for one!

if available i would love a toadstool, just beginning to add corals to my freshly set up and cycled tank,

72 hours, and I just topped off sump, added a whopping quart of water:). Also experimented with noise on return, a small addition to stockman standpipe and now nearly silent, ( 1” drains, with 11/4 stockman, would occasionally get a gurgle of air , I cut a an 8 slot 1.5 “ deep weir on a 2...

Yay ! Nitrites continue to drop 1.77 and ammonia 0 , this is officially day 6 of the cycle ,, and the evaporation rate with canopy has decreased by 70% :) in the first 24 hours

Thanks !! Every now and then I have a good idea lol

Why I wanted small gaps at bottom, I wanted to reduce evaporation but maintain plenty of air flow across the water surface, both to prevent heat and maintain oxygenation of the water. With the sloped sides and condensation that builds will run to bottom then drip back into tank :)

I ran deep sand beds years ago on my reef tank, loved it, so chose to go that route again, it will have a bunch of tiny sand dwellers in it as part of the CUC, the rocks are all on 2 1/2 inch stands so the sand dwellers have free roam and the stands are silicones in place so aquascape can’t move...
