If your glueing rock together the best stuff is e-marco 400. But the rock should be dry. Its what i used to glue my rock towers in my 210 mix reef

 

[Devaji]

yeah that is great stuff for sure

Ill post my daily recipe and overall experience later today

Nice setup! You dose AF components 123? I do AF aswell on my IM25 but am trying soda lime in my ato for now. Just didn’t have time to setup doser yet as the tank is in my office at work. Keeps my PH up and levels pretty good. I see you put a CO2 scrubber im guessing your PH is on low side.

Yup, i do components 123 and kalkwasser. I dose the kalk instead of using my ato. Less chance for mishaps.

 

[Branespikin]

Oh wow you dose quite a bit then. Im going to abandon the kalkwasser probably and just use the 123. Yeah im a bit worried if ATO dumping too much water. You use reef salt ir probiotic?

R.I.P. to one of my coco island clams. Went away for the weekend and came home to find my green/red maxima clam dead. Checked all the parameters and everything was fine. The next day my blue maxima was closed up. Turns out i got pyrmid snails in my tank some how. Cleaned off my blue maxima and wow. In the pic below you can see all i brushed off. I marked them with purple
