Support the bottom some more. Fill it up and check all the seams.

Yes 1/2”. I was thinking thick but typed 1/4”.

Sorry to hear bro. It’s acrylic ? Rtv won’t work plus it might have chemicals. If it is acrylic. Weld on 4. Or 16. Clamp it when the acrylic softens. Then bond a reinforcement strip along the seam. At last a 1/4” thick on both sides.

What do you plan to keep in there ? Dead rock and sand is asking for a super long cycle to maturity. Like a year to year and the half for stability sps. Others might say I’m wrong. I think your gonna grow every algae possible

Technically yes. Less thermal contact. Unless you tape the whole thing. Then you just should use the gravy.

I do. It still looks the same. I take bad pictures to make Erin mad. @Kensington Reefer it kills him.

On the radions and the x30. The whole back is the heat sink. It’s lame because they don’t put any gravy on there so the heat sink doesn’t work well. I bought this one on Amazon. It was like 12 dollars

Thanks Thomas. I wasn’t planning on it. Although we could take it and raffle off the equipment for the club. Dunno what to do with the aquariums tho. Looks like it has some highend equipment.

Here is a simple mod / maintenance. Depending on how you want to think about it. I measure my x30 pre paste 40.8C. And after paste 34.4C that’s 6.4C difference which is 43.5 degrees Fahrenheit. That’s a lot. So what am I taking about ? Thermal Paste. Some thing no one thinks about but it’s...

I’ll add one more thing. You need to skim well. According to Dong Zou. It’s actually a form of carbon dosing. He goes into it deeper on the reefers network on YouTube if your interested

Dunno if you know. Afr is not alk so when you dose it. The real reading is 3 days later. It’s not instant like alk.

I would come back up to 1.020 or close then Prozi pro. The scratching could be gill flukes. Any time you meditate or hypo. The fish are extremely stressed and sketchy.

While you are at it. I would run a round of Prozi pro. Heavy oxygen is needed. You won’t know what’s what until you get close to 1.020 and a few weeks later. If everything was successful. Even if you weren’t successful in getting rid of the ick. Just move on. Good husbandry will get you a long way.

I use it. Order the materials on Amazon. 5 cups mag flake, 3 cups mag sulfate to a gallon or so. Doesn’t really matter how much water you use. As long as your constant in the mix. Been using it forever maybe 10-15 years ?

Mine kept falling off. I never liked the design. Anyways. I put a thin bead of silicone on the face and stuck it to the aquarium. Never fell off again
