A few of my SPS

What's the go with the sponge power stuff you said you dose in your recent TOTM article Greg. Do you think it's having a positive effect mate, any reason i shouldn't give it a try.
I feel terribly left out not having an eye dropper additive :sad2:
In my experience it helps the colored growth tips grow longer on some acros & clams like it too. Andrew I think you should try it and see what you think..

Well right after reading your TOTM article just after it was published i actually ordered said product since you and i share very similar and simple water keeping methods Greg. My inner thought process went like this:
Greg uses sponge power - i don't
Is Greg an SPS goofball - no
How many TOTM has he accepted - bloody TWO !
But he's Canadian - he's actually part aussie based on his SPS colors.
I think we are go for sponge power - yep.
It says to put a few drops in every day which sounds a bit labor intensive considering you have to squeeze the squishy bit twice each time, once to suck some up and then once more to administer the dose. I take it that's why you dose it twice a week ? How much do you add each time mate ?
Just because you suddenly say it doesn't make up for the lack of obvious disclosure previously Dan
it's sneaky dosing...........

I think it helps with filter feeders and support growth of sponges and bacterias . I always use sp no matter what with bacteria. I think its why i can keep gorgs and nps real easy. And you can see the crazy extensions on the yellow gorg..

You also need to shake your blue bottle well before administering drops :bum:
I love this product. I can see its positive effects (There are now lots of white sponges and feather duster worms in my tank and sump, which were not there before I had used it!).

Thanks BulentHow much do you dose and how often mate ?
I dose 3 drops daily (1 drop per 100l). Technically I am overdosing 0.5 drops per day, but Zeovit people said it was OK.
I have a bottle of spongepower. The size of any aptasia will double after a couple of doses.
The size of aiptasia definitely gets bigger, but unlike many reported, I did not observe any explosion in their population in my tank.

Me neither, but I don't try and kill them like I used too with some kind of juice. I will occasionally put an epoxy blanket down and smother a few and this has held the population down to 4 or 5 pesky ones.
:lol2:
I usually dose weekly what the SP instructions recommend for the daily dose. I find KZ tends to recommend much higher daily doses of their products than I feel comfortable administering. I would also recommend dosing Fauna Marin Color Elements weekly as well. I must be part Aussie because I dose the Color Elements into the over flow which then takes it directly to the sump (AKA -Down Under) to dilute into the system well before going to the displays.
Although I do dose the SP straight into the display (up top) which keeps me mostly Canuck.
Okay i am going to dose 1 drop a day instead of the recommended 5 that the directions say to add, thanks for the info on your dosing guys
Pretty sure we can't get the Fauna Marin stuff in Aus Greg
I may be wrong but personally I think you would be better off to dose once or twice per week in a manner that "spikes" the food levels.
