    All through this build thread, I never knew you had a running tank, how could I have missed THAT?!?

    The flow in your tank looks really good, btw. What do you have controlling it?

    Also if you havent done this already, I fold my nori until its about 1/4 - 1/2 inch size and place it in the clip. Its thicker and harder for them to tear away. I fold the nori horizontal to the lines. I did it the other way and they were tearing strips like crazy.

    That would be my fault because I had a build thread for the 225 on here but when I started this build that thread went to the side.

    As for the flow its just a SEIO controller that changes from high flow to low flow every 15 seconds.

    Or cut strips that are still connected on one side, this is the best way to feed nori, that way they pull off a long narrow strip. I have all my fish eating nori since feeding this way, from tangs to wrasse and damsels.

    I never cut mine but might be a better solution than them fighting for the best position to get the nori. Thanks ing.

    I put a couple coats of primer on the floor today. I used this product from the HD.

    Here is what the color turned out. Hope the iPhone captured this well.

    So the floor went from this:

    To this:

    I am going to wait a couple days before I put on the final product so it can cure.

    What do you think?

    Bruh, if its not too much trouble, can you consolidate the updates from the past couple months into your original post so it would be easier to follow where you are now?
    Thanks

    In the past couple months I pretty much really havent done anything due to health and other matters. If you go back a couple pages that will pretty much tell you what I have done. I will try and see what I can do.
