I removed all my fish and corals and put them back into a 35g tank that i was about to tare down but didnt, thank god there are only 24hrs in a day. I left the silicone as is, I have used it before on othere systems without any problems but looking back i did do something different.

Before i let it set up for 24hrs then ran water through the sump (self contained using the return pump and a hose to make it cycle) for another 24hrs. then drained it and put it into the system.

This time due to massive thunder showers i had to skip that step and only let it setup for about 24hrs cus i was concerned the power might go out when i was at work and flood my house cus i was using a small back up tank and as sump for the night that i built it.

so far I both systems that i did that way are running very well, not a problem with then at all, one is very new only a month old and the other is about a year old

First system 1 year old 35g + 10g sump


Second System, 20g + 5g sump for Girlfriend




finally my new 90g system with problem sump
