I am planning to re-do the baffles of my DIY 40gal breeder sump due to the following reasons
1. To lower the water level. It is currently at 13inches and water gets to about 1.5inches below the top when i turn off the return pump (poor planning on my end). I would also like to remove the skimmer stand to have more room up top which means easier access to the collection cup.
2. Adjust the first chamber to make the skmimmer fit. Skimmer is currently in the second chamber and refugium in the first.
My questions are...How many days does it take for the aquarium safe silicone to fully cure? How many days can I go with only a heater and 2 powerheads in the display without having any adverse affect to my livestock (9 fishes and corals)? Below is a fts of my display to give you an idea of what is in my dt. Thanks in advance!!
