Just got done spending 2 hours pulling out my old baffles in my 20 high sump scraping all the old silicone and resetting them to add a small refegium in there. How long should I wait until I get it wet again? It feels firm on the outside already so I was thinking another hour or 2 and Ill add some water and try this out :). I was originally planning on adding a 10 gallon refegium in the closet behind my tank but I went ahead and avoided trying to convince the fiancé too let me do it. On a side note does anyone in Atlanta have a small chunk of chaeto I can have or trade for?

It's a tight squeeze, return volume stayed the same(too small) but I fit my ASM G2 and still had a 6x12x12 refegium. Thoughts? Comments?
 
Sets fully in 24 hours I think but n I have used in 8-12 with no problems.
 
Alright tank will be fine for a day without a skimmer and Ill just mount my heater in my DT temporarily. Thanks guys!
 
yeap, min 24 hrs then rinse it and you should be good. i like to wait 48hrs but thats just because.
