All glass rimless tanks should have 3/4” plywood under them with the neoprene mat to smooth out any imperfections.

Anyways, here’s what I’ve been working on…

Bribo! I hear you… this forum definitely used to be my go-to for help, chit chat, and other reef keeping banter. It seemed to fizzle out here. While I am slightly involved in other forums, it’s not nearly as social as this was always was. I remember having actual conversations through this...

Ahh yes. The cyclical nature of reefing has struck again.

Hard to tell from pics but if inside looks good and no bubbles you should be ok. I’d email Fluval with pics and see what they say.

Onward! Good luck… [emoji1303]

I’m not a silicone expert but I’m under the impression any air bubbles are not good whatsoever and the seam will fail. May want to consult a custom builder like Glass Cages or SCA Aquariums they’ll likely help answer your question.

How are you cycling the tank? Once nitrites hit 0, then yes, you’ll want a second round of exposure to ammonia to help the bacterial load grow. Just be aware that if you’ve hit 40ppm NO3 after the first round, you’ll like be around 80ppm after the second round. This will require a large, 80-90%...

It is in the saltwater aquaria forum.

You should only be interested in moving an anemone if you are removing it from the tank. As Sniper said damage is a life sentence for them. Anemones will move to where they’re comfortable in the system, and it’s futile to attempt to change their location for them. They’ll just move right back.

For peace of mind I’d replace all the filters and membranes, but that’s me. Does it have an TDS meter, before and/or after the DI resin? If so, depending on those readings, will be a good indication of what filters could be salvaged for the time being. But for the low expense of new filters...

What happened?? BUMMER!!!

Also plenty of DIY frozen food methods on YouTube if you have a blender and a grocery store close!

Can try to put a drop of Garlic Power and let the flakes soak, that could get them enticed a bit. You can also look in the PE Mysis pellets, and the same technique with the Garlic Power if they don’t like those. Pellets in general may be a bigger hit than the flakes. Look up ChromoBoost, or New...

Why do they have to be flakes?
