Wow, did you try to shake the walls of the tank with adding 2 wave makers on both sides at full speed? So soon supply of corals will restore ? You filled my tank with corals and closed down yours, waiting anxiously for this project to end in the workshop and begin at home, looks like before eid ?

No... not at all. This water test was only checking for leakage in seams... because after silicone the braces, it will quite difficult to fix the leakage.

Another thing is I am quite sure tank will not hold the stress. strong pulse flow can cause damage on seams.....

Since Braces are silicone last night..... waiting for dry it up..... 2 x Tunze Turbelle® Stream 6125 from Bulk reef supply is one the way.

So soon supply of corals will restore ?

Oh Yes....

You filled my tank with corals and closed down yours, waiting anxiously for this project to end in the workshop and begin at home, looks like before eid ?

Let see If rocks give me positive response. I am doing my best to cure the rock before Eid holidays.... so In holidays I can make rock work and start it normally.
