What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Ah Good Morning my friends...
Coffee time here..
Cut the section of the old tank needed to make the new sump yesterday.
Today gping to cut a new side for the new sump from the old tank and prepare the area's to be glued with Weldon 4 and 16. Then let it dry till tomorrow.
Sump is 3/4 inch thick acrylic.
Have to check my calculations for water drop from display when feeding happens and system shut down or a power outage.

I only sleep for 3 hours. 😥
I try to avoid screen time through the night.
You could always join the new Smorgasbordark! If that doesn't put you to sleep, nothing will!

That looks great in my opinion
 
Also don't get stoned and do calculations. I realized with the help of ai. 1.3g is not 13g. Lol we are so lucky to be able to use such technology. It was for boron which when I stabilize it will get rid of my bromine problem through GAC
