Best Filtration Method for SPS?

[Hentz]

Hey guys, whats going on?!

I'm still undecided on setting up my 93 or not..

I'm currently running ZEOvit in my main tank right now and while it's working great, my color's just aren't that great. They are here and there, but they never really excite me.. In pictures, I love the pastel color of the acropora's but in person, they just aren't that great. I keep seeing friends who have deep and vibrant colors in their tanks and that's ultimately what I'd like.

I love using ZEOvit and its working great as I've said. I'm just tossing it up if I want to use it on my new system or try something new / old.

I've used just a basic Fuge, Skimmer, and a bag of Chemi-Pure prior and had good success, minus great coloration. But I'm curious to see, what are you guys running and having ultimate success with for color/growth in your SPS dominant tanks?

I'm assuming you're running ultra low nutrient? Try feeding more and maybe dosing some vitamins/aminos

I prefer oversized skimmer, large Fuge and plenty of rock and ceramic media in sump.

It's a pink lemonade

Thats the best pink lemonade I've seen as far as yellow goes. Is it that bright?

Yes from top down very yellow from the side you see a lot more of the red

One of the best reefs iv personally seen was a very heavy stocked 90gallon with nothing but heavy skimming, small fuge and high lightning. The owner broke it down and did the same thing in his 180. Growth, coloration and fish health are amazing. Iv adopted the same process on my new tank. Up and running for 6 months nitrates around 10ppm. Couldn't be happier with the results so far.

This is from back in January. Tank was about 6 months old. Most of the corals are grown from frags or colonies taken from the old system.
