Hi Shelley,

Tank was shut down last Thursday and corals were placed in a holding tank. Nothing has died since they were placed in the holding tank and they seem to be doing better but it will be a while before they completely bounce back.

Thanks for inquiring.

Just putting my overflow together this afternoon and I am totally amazed on how very little of smell/odor the SCS1200 silcone has. Kind of makes sense why its reef safe.

Don't quote me on it, but I'm pretty sure the 1200 isn't silicone, I thought it was just a silicone like adhesive...I could be making that up though..

Your half right there Brad, it is a silicone but it is made for industrial construction.
