Absolutly nothing lol I was advised to use it to clean the glass before a reseal
Because it evaporates quickly and leaves no residue but it was useless ended up just razorblading well and cleaning up with a vacuum and hotwater That was the tank that cracked

Well perams went well amm-0.0 nitrite-0.1 and ph was low at 7.9 I figured it would be a quick cycle with rocks sand and half the water being cycled previously hope ph gets up soon I'll test again next week sometime before adding the cuc ( hopefully next weekend) will see how it goes

Looking good! Keep it up! What did you use for substrate in the tank? Is it a mix of crushed coral or crushed oyster shells and aquarium gravel?
Very cool wrasse to add! Make sure to keep an eye on your params before any new additions as this first addition of critters will be the first 'real' bioload the tank experiences! Thanks for sharing  Chris
