I dip and inspect all new coral before adding them to my tank. I also drip acclimate them. The time of acclimation depends on the SG of the tank I got them from. I try to match the sg of the bag it came in to the sg in my tank, slowly.
I don't think it's tempered. I was squirting it with a spray bottle and I thought I was going to get it and about half way through it broke. I'm not sure if I went too fast or if I didn't keep it wet enough.
I re-scaped my tank today. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I'm not sure how I feel about it yet. I don't think I hit the 5:3 ratio; A 55g is tough to work with. Hope you enjoy.

New ATO reservoir
I got rid of my seven gallon plastic jug and set up a ten gallon tank. I have 1/4" pieces of acrylic for a lid. I think it should cut down on my reservoir evaporating. Geez, I'm evaporating everywhere I look...
I'm trying to talk myself into reaquascaping my tank. My tank is a standard 55 gallon, so yeah, it's not going to be easy. I want to do two separate structures instead of my rock wall. I really like the idea of the 5:3 rule...
