It's clear which ones got away.

I Really didn't feel like putting the extenders on my router table fence. Knew it wouldn't be straight, Knew it wouldn't matter.

I broke 3 slots of my brand new wier the day I got the tank. Super glued them back on and nobody's noticed.
Honesty in reefing sir. Have to respect that. Thanks B:)

Going with GE SCS1201 Clear 1200 Construction Silicone thats what was rated well amoungst the top.

Trying to figure out if i should just drill the overflow using the same 2 inch hole saw that the overflow uses? Can a Return Bulkhead be too big?

Well done sir its a pretty obvious fact that h202 does help with at least certain strains no doubt.

I was curious here if it wouldn't help Nates cause to stop dosing it and see what keeping phosphates elevated and a little bit of good old strict removals of dinos would do.

For sure prevention is far better than remediation.

How are you dosing h202? It's up to you but I'd like to see what happens if you stop dosing h202 and just go extra time with dino removal and keeping phosphates detectable. I had to clean my tank daily with 5micron sock to get rid of mine and I'm not sure I seen any improvement with dosing h202. Mine kinda worked itself out with daily removals and dosing phosphate until it stuck. Are you still seeing new coral and green sheen algae growth?

I never did try dosing h202 into sock when I had it hooked up to overflows or doing removals.
