what does dtotq mean?
There is TOTM (tank of the month) on RC and DTOTQ (dream tank of the quarter) on zeovit.com
regards
Thanks, guys.
Denadai, do you mean acropora hyacinthus, don't you? Kallium/jod in small doses and xtra improve the colour, but surely you know that. I read your threat on RC and I see you add and Koral color, so you needn't use anything else. Don't be so impatient and give some more time to your corals, they are that young. They improved a lot in comparison to their previous appearance. You can also replace one T5 with a tube that gives warmer lighting, e.g. KZ fiji purple or ATI actinic.

Hi Lunar,
Yes, is the hyacinthus red, I love this coral but never had luck with. I will wait and I will keep my routine, let´s see in a couple of months if I get better color
I´m using one 250W MH with 4x T5, I´m thinking in a powermodule from ATI with 8x 24W and take off the 250W MH
What do you think the setup below ?
3 x Blue Plus
3x Aqua Blue Special
2 x Fiji Purple
Best Regards

Hi Lunar
Very nice, one of my favs.:fun4:
Do you have a plenum on your deep sand bed ?
What brand of baling salts do you use?
Did you notice a big difference when using mineral salt ?
What improvements did mieral salt bring ?
sorry to quiz so much, but I need to learn from the best :thumbsup:
Thanks in advance

Thanks, Vince.
Starting zeo I already had DSB that had cooperated with a previous method. My tank has ran both of them (zeo + DSB) over a year and although everything has looked fine so far I decided to get rid of DSB. For two months I keep removing sand bit by bit during water changes. My goal is to have only decorative layer of sand.
When I added solutions for two-part method at the beginning I had trouble with keeping stable levels of Ca and kH. That's why I started using NaCl free salt, it seems to give me more stable parameters.

Thank you, Rodrigo_BG.
As you can see the layer of sand isn't the same everywhere, it's 3-6 cm deep now.

One of my fav. tanks! Its Beautiful :thumbsup:
Very nice! I relise that with Zeo less is more but I'm very surprised with your relatively low doses in comparesion to your water volume. I run a 200l net and have the near same dosing amount of zeo elements. Do you find the KZ skimmer playing a role in your dosing because it is not as agressive in stripping elements from the system?
