It really works great. You can see the results on my reef. It a 2 part epoxy style. Comes with a fluid and a powder. Mixes like a dry cement.
I really like that aquascape. Nice change of pace from the wall of rocks

Thank you. Unfortunately this tank got sold a few months ago. But im now setting up a unls aquaforest nano aquarium focused on sps coralsI really like that aquascape. Nice change of pace from the wall of rocks
Micro bubbles from the protein skimmer maybe. Might not be all the way broken in. Or air escaping from the rock. Many reason as to y but those are two off the top of my headI filled the tank today, mixed my salt up and it seems to of settled now but I have LOADS of bubbles sitting on everything?
Any reason why this is happening?
Turn up your power heads. Blast the rocks offNot switched skimmer on yet so possibly the rocks then. I'm hoping they go soon, was looking forward to the tank looking nice once water was in but I guess I'll wait a little longer aha.
And i would start the skimmer. It dosnt have to skim but get water moving through it. They all need to break in.Turn up your power heads. Blast the rocks off
Yeah just run the water in the main chanber of the skimmer. It dosnt even have to go up the neck. Might as well start it breaking in.OK I'll give that a go now.
A lil different for each. You'll notice it start to actual skim. Dont adjust it to flow up the neck till you see skim mate forming on the top of the water in the main chamber. Wait for a good thick brown. Then adjust up the neck slowly. I prefer a dryer skimmate.Still getting to grips with the skimmer. I've got the aqua one g220, first thoughts is its not going to be up to standard, doesn't sit very well in the designated part of the sump so still making some improvements. Should have it up and running tomorrow at some point though.
How long do they take to break in, or is it one of those questions where there isn't really an answer as each skimmer is different?

FollowingFor anyone still following the thread.
All seems to be going well with he cycle. Last tests read that ammonia was dropping, nitrite rising slightly and nitrates were rising. Think it's only day 4/5 and already seeing results.
I also have some brown algae growing on the pump, small spots of it on the rock and patches in the sand. Guessing those are diatoms?
Dreading it all getting out of hand though!
Thats good. The ammonia is dropping changing over to nitrate. Diatoms are forming. Sounds great. Once ammonia is zero you can do a water change and add a small cuc if your getting antsy.Following
Smart. Patience is everything with this hobbyI will probably leave it a couple more weeks before adding CUC just to make sure I'm good to go. Don't want to rush anything.
What CUC would you recommend starting with? I really like the look of purple legged hermits and trochus snails.
Is there a certain amount that is good to start with or does that depend on how much diatoms I have?
