Some updates to my system...

[whaase]

It seems a little slow around here so I took some pictures.

Since my last posting the tank has cleared, I removed the SOS overflow and Tony and I drilled some bulkheads. Got a crack on one, but we repaired it It is solid now, plus when I add the overflow boxes, there will be no pressure on it and no water on it. I traced a black circle around a bubble in the silicone between the patch and the tank. If I push with my hand from inside, the bubble gets bigger. When I filled it up with water, the bubble size does not change.

And this thing. It's "legs" are sticking out the rock, many of them. Some are almost 1.5" long. They are yellow and black stripped. I've seen a couple of them.. Anyone know what it is? I couldn't get a closer picture...
