history of lunar's reef
- Thread starter lunar
- Start date
My tank was skimmerless only for one year. I used calcreactor, miracle mud and chaetamorpha then.
Anyway I'm satisfied enough when hear such kind, friendly comments. Thanks.
Yes, he is using RBS salt.

Wow :inlove:
Just one quick question when starting with zeo how long was it before you felt the bacteria working?
Why I ask is I also use zeo but have found that I need to increase the carbon to get better results I'm amazed at the low dosage of zeostart in your tank.But your tank is very clean looking.
I come from having a DSB and high po4 locked in the rock. And still have alage issues. Your rock is so clean Between your tank and Sunnyx tank i could go blind from all the colour :eek2:
Very nice

Amazing tanks Lunar, it seems that you like dsb, today we see a lot of tanks with I tiny sand layer, do feel that somehow your dsb's made a difference on your sps tanks?
Thanks for your comment.
Sharkey, it could sound unreliable, but I've neither experienced cyano nor hair algae, my rocks have been clean all the time. I used to have some cyano and dirt on the rocks only at the very beginning, years ago. I wondered why other aquarists struggle with such things. You ask me for bacteria, when they seem to start working for me. It's difficult to claim because even before initiating zeo method I added other different bacteria. Therefore I haven't seen a drastic change regarding cleaning issue. I've only realised that the corals have a nicer colour, they are colourful as a whole, not only on tips. If I were in your shoes I would confine myself only to zeobak, zeostart2, zeozym, coral snow, zeolites stones for a while and I wouldn't neglect regular water changes. I would add bigger doses of the products named before, unless something else generates PO4.
As I mentioned earlier the quantity of zeobac and zeostart2 isn't the same all the time. When PO4 and NO3 levels are near 0, I decrease the quantity, but when they increase I add more these products. I check it very often using Hanna instruments.

Krzysztof
Thanks, Rodrigo.
Am I keen on DSB?
I had DSB earlier when my tank ran another method. I didn't get rid of DSB starting zeo. I was afraid that something would be wrong, but, fortunatelly, I was wrong. So I haven't seen any difference so far.
