    They are best known for pest control. More for the Melanarus and Yellow Coris wrasse and there is one more I heard that's good for pest control.

    UPDATE - Overflow Repair

    When I first got the tank I redid(redrilled) the center overflow in hoping to do a Bean Animal type overflow. Well when I placed the bulkheads in and leak tested, I drilled the 2 inch bulkheads a little big and I had leaks. Since I had extra acrylic I cut a piece to the inside measurements of the overflow.

    [​IMG]

    This is a pic of the inside of the overflow.

    [​IMG]

    I took Weldon 16 and traced the outside holes of the 2 inch drains and 1 inch returns.

    [​IMG]
    It doesn't look like it but I placed the new acrylic inside.

    [​IMG]

    And I placed concrete blocks to help seal the piece.

    [​IMG]

    Later tonight or tomorrow I will Weldon 16 the outside edge and let it cure.
