    Cure dry Fiji rock

    Dang I really like that. I’m not going to break my tank down. But one huge problem I had doing my rock work was caves spreading as I added weight. Is was very frustrating. I ultimately solved my issue with a dab of silicone but wasn’t best method since there is no adjustability after it sets

    If it’s just a reflection. I feel the tank is safe. Chips don’t really effect tanks much. Just cracks. And I see no cracks

    Plastic is fixable. Glass. Tuff pic to be sure. Looks like a blunt impact fracture that could be good. Sharp impacts tend to make fractures that walk over time. It appears to be superficial Or. Surface only. And that it did not pass thru the glass and make contact with the silicone. If those...

    I agree. If you ever brushed painted plastic. It’s real hard to get a nice finish with out a lot of coats and sanding. And that kind of paint has a rubber base. It is not meant to be sanded. Probably why they sell it in spray form.

    you Cure any rock that was live and has dead organisms on or in it. If it is clean dry rock. There is no need to cure it. The only reason to cure it outside the tank is to not get the plethora of dead crap in your tank. But if it’s clean dead rock. Toss it in and cycle them babies. But...

    Hahahaha. I understand where you are coming from. You would think the advantages of LED couldn’t possibly be improved by an old technology. But Even modern cars. Use both technology. There are several manufacturers that use LED for low beam and filiment for high beam. When they are both on you...

    I dont know. I certainly respect everyone’s opinion but it is a fact that fluorescents make less shadows and has a flat almost wrapping effect around objects. That’s why show rooms use them. The lack of shadows hides imperfections. It’s also why detail shops use incandescent lights. The...
