Gabriel's NEW 300 Gallon Envision Tank ((PICS INTENSE))
- Thread starter Bebo77
- Start date
Bioptim, Biodigest and Reef Booster are considered to be the big threee. I really want to do this but on my system it would cost $80/mo. Plus the electricity, plus the $50 in salt and there's always something else to buy and that's not even including stock. Sometimes I think you got to be a millionaire to run a large tank.

i am running zeo lite
.. i lost 5 frags from zeo.. so i now use 1/4 the recommended dose of the basic 4. You dont have to run zeo.. Prodibio and Zeo area totally seperate things, Iwan uses some of the Zeo products like the Zeo start2 nitrate remover and some of the other high end additives to make his corals POP, but the additives are NOT CHEAP...I have seen alot of nice tanks using Zeo and want the same results so am sticking it out but VERY VERY slowly...
Again i am somewhat copying Iwan and he uses prodibio's "big three" Biotipm, Biodigest, and Reefbooster. I purchased the Bio Kit Reef whitch has all the start up ampoules that you will need plus some extras..
for you i would recommend getting at least 1 bio kit and the 30 ampoules size of biotipm and reefbooster. you will go through biodigest the fastest i would recommend getting 2 of the 30 ampoules containers for that one.. that should last you a couple of months since you only dose the product only every week or every other week; depending.
here is what Iwan is doing.. i am worlking off of this, not doing it exactly( my tank does nto have the same depands as his) but i am following very closely

it really not expensive.. you only dose every week or every other week.. its really worth it you only dose for you total water volume not the tank water volume you subtract the rock etc from the total.. my 400+ gallon tank really only has a hair over 300 actual gallons of water so its worth it for me i think..

I use DT oyster eggs to target feed my corals, along with mysis and cyclopeez, i also got a free sample of reef roids.. i have heard that corals really respond well to the product so i will target feed with that stuff as well, i just put them all in a cup mix for a few min and then an hour or so after lights out i get my turkey baster and feed the corals. I also close the drains for the tank and stop my returns to that there is no flow to or from the sump. i do that for about 30-45 min then i open every thing back up.
