    Timon's Reef RSM 250

    I don't think that it will be an issue because those tanks have the bent glass as opposed to a silicone seam in the corner... I think the plastic trim is just for cosmetic purposes but I'm not really familiar with the RSM tanks, you may be able to use some plastic epoxy or maybe the Weldon...

    with my chaeto and dosing the Iron & Manganese, I noticed within a week that my Chaetos new growth was a darker green and the branches seemed to be a bit larger diameter, and it started growing a lot faster after a month or so, I dosed sparingly for a few months then let up on it, now I just...

    as far as dosing something that you can't test for, it's best to watch how your tank responds, if things are looking good and are improving, you're doing something right, if it starts to look bad, let up on or stop dosing the product that seemed to bother them... don't dose different products...

    loosing colors and cohesion

    Basile, even though you used a product to jump start your cycle process and it seems to be working, I think there's just some things that are best to wait until the tank has aged some, maybe those macros are just such items, but it seems odd that it could grow fine on one side of the tank and...

    I use the Kent Marine Iron & Manganese periodically in my tank Basile, I have no way of testing for it's content in my water so I dosed sparingly but it seems to help with Chaeto, I have dosed Iodide too but again, I've never tested for it so I've only dosed it a time or 2 , I use the Kent...

    The Reef Sanctuary

    cool, just remember to start the LEDs with a very low setting and gradually ramp up the intensity over a few weeks time, they are very powerful and you need to acclimate your coral to 'em

    colonizing copepods and amphipods

    since you have several pod eating critters in there, it's gonna be difficult to sustain an abundance of pods in the display tank, I would suggest an external refugeum with lots of rock, preferably a larger tank than the 20g, there you can accumulate a rich supply of pods and the excess will find...
