I checked it out, and I think that it was just the hole underneath the overflow, I did a test with paper towel to see if a leak was in the silicone, and nothing significant showed up. The only thing Ive noticed is that the back chambers are starting to get a film on the top of the water, nothing in there but foam and polyfibre and purigen for first round cycleing, so far sg is 1.025 haha not testing yet since its all base rock and old cured live rock

Maybe it's not a big issue
Wouldn't hurt to find out what's going on :smile:

yes that is true, well I do have to move it soon so, hopefully then when I drain it I will figure out whats up. Ill keep you posted

Tank is setup, added some life stock all is good
nitrae sitting a bit high, so I will be adding a fuge in chamber 3 above the return pump to grow some cheato

But I have decided that I hate PC lighting, and need some ideas for either a retro fit stunner strip led system, or possibly a DIY project. Only problem is that I have heard the stunner strips get excessively warm, and also I have never done a DIY hood in my life.
If anyone has a build or a step by step on how to go about this upgrade/mod
I would be extremely greatful!
thanks.

ps pics up soon

I have a JBJ 12 that I will be listing for sale shortly, which has an LED retrofit (original lid), and refugium & skimmer... I'll direct you to the pictures when I get them up - I spend a bunch of time making it as slick as I could, maybe it'll help you out with some ideas.

awesome thanks very much :)

Nice job on the 'scape

That's a good looking nano cube Beano, well done indeed. Even if there is a small internal leak it really isn't a big deal cause it internal & your return pump will be higher flow then the leak itself.

Thanks everybody!
glad to hear my scape is canreef worthy
I do however have to secure every frag in the tank still
I need some good puddy from somewhere and figure out which type of glue to use for securing the pieces

I do have one question, it seems my zoas are a bit agitated, they barely open during the light cycle. What reason could there be to this, plus it is close to WC day so that could contribute.
if you have any opinions Im all ears!

this would be the revamped stock list and harware list:

Coral: Frogspawn
torch
GSP
Pulsing xenia
watermelon zoos
purple green acan

3 x sexy shrimp (1 m, 2F)... both preggers
neon yellow maximini nem

cleaner wrasse (pending pick up tuesday hopefully)

Hardware:
stock PC lighting, 1 X 50/50, 1 X 10k
2 blue leds stock

colbalt maxijet1200 return pump

filter garbadge consists of, 110ac carbon bag, purigen, some cemipure elite, sponge, and poly fibre (waiting on fuge mod)

ok so everything is going well, but now I have noticed that for that for whatever reason my hydor 360 reflector or my mj1200 is blowing a few small bubbles into the tank. micro bubbles from what I understand are not good for reef envrionments? any suggestions?
