Its used to hold the sps colony in position before the glue is dry. I knocked down some colonies while cleaning the rocks.

Thanks. I’ve search for that info, but after several pages I still haven’t found it.
Are you happy with the led strips? I’m considering adding some to my T5 for getting back the led color but I’m not sure if the bulbs light don’t superimpose to the led light...

The challenging part is when you harvest the algae, the nutrient will spike up.. It's not very effective to bring down nutrient after harvesting. When algae is fully grown, sometimes it draws too much nutrient from tank also. It keeps fluctuating.
