MORE CORALS….

MORE CORALS….

With the test corals doing extremely well, last night I add on a few more pieces of SPS and 1 LPS


Acropora Yellow Humilis:

Green Acropora Stag:

Green Acropora Torresiana (maybe)

A friend gave this to me and he says it grows like grass…..




And one cool Maze brain I pick-up, which is similar to the one I used to have….

Looking good Eddie

Makes me second guess myself that I just sold my 245 gallon rimless AO tank yesterday...

How about a new FTS

Maybe you should push for a "shallow reef" forum in the special interest section!

I think there already is a 'Shallow Reef Club' in the special interest section

Now that there are more corals in the tank, I started to dose the following for those who is interested:


Daily:
- ZeoStart2 (Start2): 0.65ml 2x /day
- Pohls Coral Vitalizer (CV): 2 drops daily
- Pohl’s B-Balance (BB): 2ml daily
- Pohl’s Xtra (PX): 2ml daily


Twice Weekly:
- ZeoBac (Bak): 7 drops 2x /week
- Pohls Coral Snow (PCS): 2ml 2x/ week
- Zeofood 7 (Food7): 1 drop 2x/ week
- Amino Acid High Concentrate (AAHC): 1 drop 2x/ week
- Zeozym (Zym): 1 tea spoon mix with tank water for 30min 2x/week


Will monitor the corals for two weeks and adjust dosing accordingly....



:dance:

Ed, your new corals are looking good. What happened to all your old corals from your 295g?

I noticed that your only dosing 2 drops of coral vitalizer, why? Is less better?

Im doing 4 drops on my 67g (80g total water volume) and also 1ml Pohls extra, 2ml coral snow, 3 drops amino's. Im wondering if I should dose less?


Also how often do you pump your zeo-reactor? I typically pump mine morning and night.

btw im new to zeo

Hi Reefer08

Well a lot will depends on live stock in your tank as CV is a food for SPS. It also contain some elements which if not careful can cause your reef to be high nutriant, especially for a new tank.

As I don't have that many corals in the tank yet so best to take things slow.


As for Coral Snow, it contains also Amino Acid and Vitalizer. So if you are dosing CS at 2ml for such a small tank, you should reduce on your AAHC and CV dosing or you will start to see a raise in Cyano bacteria...


Also check your Ca, Mg, dKH reading as there's been report of raise in those level with overdosing of Coral Snow as it contains among others a natural Calcium-Magnesium Carbonate mix.


Your dosage of Xtra seems fine....


I don't know about your amount of LS in your tank so cannot comment much on your dosing but most importantly how's your corals doing?? Are the PE all fully extended, color dark or light and do you get any Red slime algae?? How long have you been dosing??


I pump my reactor twice daily (morning before work/ night before sleep) Best time to pump this is actually when the lights are off as that's when all the PE are out


Hope that helps.....
