Andreww Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Looks sooo good! What sand is that? Looks like gravel 🧐 Quote Link to comment
NanoRox Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 I almost think another very thin faux wall on the right side might be cool to give a little depth behind the short corner piece. really happy with the colors. I may have missed it but what corals will you place in it? and when its all set-up...can I have some good pics of it...marketing and all you know. 🙂 2 Quote Link to comment

I want to avoid anything with sweepers as that would be a disaster. 59 minutes ago, Andreww said: Looks sooo good! What sand is that?

shaner014 Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Looks freaking sweet, good thing you have @NanoRox making you look good. 🤪 I think you need a finer sand for sense of scale to stay epic. 2 Quote Link to comment

Friendly Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 just to interject, on the side...it would be really awesome if they* made something like this with a bit more capacity and with a pico reef in mind. *creators of the MCR 1 Quote Link to comment

Lifting a larger tank off of the stand would be a disaster waiting to happen 1 Quote Link to comment
jbb Posted January 30, 2019 Author Share Posted January 30, 2019 so I ended up with the salt creep issue at the front 2 corners of the tank. to fix this I took a 3ml syringe with a 16 gauge plastic needle tip and ran a very small bead of silicone around the perimeter. this is easily removed should i need to access the sump area and can be reapplied in about 30 seconds. I think this will help keep from having to clean the creep daily. 1 Quote Link to comment
Friendly Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 what if you use the silicon to create a gasket and seal it. that would stop the creep and remove the issue of having to re-caulk. Quote Link to comment
