Ok... more questions ofcourse. I'm going to paint the back of my QT and DT tank. Went to Lowes and guy in paint department recommended Vaspar gloss spraypaint for the glass. The paint isn't specifically for glass but he said it should work. I was going to purchase the "pacific blue" color. Also while I was there I checked out the plumbing department. The overflow box I plan to use states that 1 1/2" plumbing is necessary. Checked out the pvc piping and noticed a 1 1/2" pvc hose. Has anyone used pvc hose for their plumbing? I plan to simply run pvc from the overflow to the sump, using a valve to control flow to skimmer and fuge compartment. Then pump water up to DT using wye instead of using a 90 degree elbow. Lastly, I've been shopping around for rock and found a site which has "Reef Saver" eco dry live rock. The site says you can seed the rock simply by placing it in the tank, adding heated saltwater with circulation, leaving the lights off for 2-3 weeks to let a biofilm form. Then the tank is ready to cycle. The site also says that you can obtain a piece of coralline to seed the dry rock. Has anyone ever heard of these methods before? I love how the rock looks!
