My tank isnt stocked yet i let my glue and primer dry like 10 hours before i threw the water too. Just curious if it leached at all after it was cured or not ?

If its not wet to the touch the glue is inert and safe.....the lingering smell of the primer is enough to freak all of us out...but it is fine to use after an hour.

I'm overly cautious I guess. I did excessive water changes and lots of charcoal changes...oh well.

I'm just new over here, so I don't know how crowded it was in the beginning.
Ik like it here so I'll wil keep posting over here!
My sump cracked testerday and I got the flu right now  Maybe because I had a very stressful and busy day saving my tank yesterday... Luckily everything is doing fine! Update in my topic when I'm feeling better

I tend to go into hibernation during typhoon season. In spite of having spent thirteen summers down here, I’m still not used to the heat and humidity (a side effect of growing up along the cool California coast).
I’m just waiting for that first whiff of dry Canadian air in order to wake up again. Looks like it should be any day now.

I am still hanging around also. I haven't had enough time to get my programmer up and running totally yet. I am also in the process of building a large HOB skimmer for the 75 to hold me over until after the first of the year when the larger tank will be up and running. Besides that enjoying the temp drops at night in TN.

I'm still around even though I don't post much. With my new job I can't sit around and post all day anymore  .. Plus I picked up a quad this summer so a lot of my time was spent on that. The rest was spent getting drunk at reef-daddy's house, work, and softball. I'm sure now that it's getting cold, I'll be around a lot more.
As far as the tank is concerned, my BB tank looks better than ever.
