i mostly used the deltec epoxy just cause thats what was easy to find, i think next time im gonna use the twolittlefishies epoxy cause its alot softer and would spred better on the back of the rocks. for silicone i used the 1200 stuff the use to build tanks with just cause i figured it probably the strongest and forshurly safe in a tank.
i havnt updated anything in a while cause i havnt been doing much in the tank.
still have flatworms even though i dosed a whole bottle of flatworm exit within 12 hours
still have a mantis i cant catch, i have a trap that looks like it would work well but i guess the mantis has to go in it for it to work and he dosent seem to want to do that im thinking i might have to rip out some rocks and that wasnt supposed to happen ever. the rocks were stacked and corals have been mounted all over and to remove the rocks im gonna have to chisle out corals aswell, might have to happen though since im too scared to buy any more livestock for this tank untill it gets resolved
corals seems to be growing but ive had an issue with color the last while, i was thinking potasium since i wasnt dosing it this tank but now im thinking it might be from heat since ive come home to the tank being around 84 degrees a few times now during the day the ac in the house is turned down a bit and alowing the tank to heat up, im gonna get some kind of fan and hook it up to the controller so it stayed around 81 and the most,
im also gonna switch the mh bulb to a more blue spectrum its a 12.5k giesman marine bulb i believe so maybe a 14-18k bulb might look better and help with the color of the corals also.
not all the corals in the tank are mounted cause i havnt decided if some are staying or not but this is how its looked for the last month or 2 now
