  1. Heat to 22 degrees, then once it's almost cycled, start turning the temp down by a degree every couple days. You're still going to need a fairly stable temp around 17 degrees for winter and 20 for summer.

  2. You replace evaporated water with fresh/pure water. because when the water evaporates, it leaves everything else behind.

    You will have to add top up water often, as the amount that evaporates is quite a lot more than a fresh water tank. calculating how much water to replace is probably bloody difficult, it's better to add a mark on the outside of the tank to let you know where the water height should be for when you replace the evaporated water.

    Also, NSW is higher in salinity ~40ppt, so you will have to dilute it with RO/DI water to get to ~35ppt. Used a refractometer to measure this.

  3. Nothing will stick to Acrylic, the only thing is proper acrylic cement.

    Silicon is ok as long as there is pretty much no load on the joint, such as holding something in place. But if you want it to hold a load like a fishtank, expect failure.
