    Dosing pumps

    note taken... it was the first time setting up a dosing pump. Yes the liquids were higher than the tank being dosed... All my space down that low is taken and thought I looked into this problem close enough.

    Mounting coral

    i like superglue gel, BSI is my favorite. Dry a spot on the frag and get a big bubble of glue submerge quickly and try and burst that glue bubble and smear it around hold for 30 seconds. If its a off balance piece you might need to prop

    Reef safe silicone from HD or Lowes

    Yes... It needs some drying time before you put it in water or it runs. Ive had it in different tanks and coral and algae grow on it with no bad effects... Its holding the rocks together in my tank now that has been going for more than 1 year.

    Slow growing zoas??

    Zoas grow fast when conditions are right... sometimes too fast. For me they are a tricky coral to keep happy.
