that tank is a wonderful rainbow!

Someone finally said the "Z" word. These results seem typical of the Zeovit method. All too often you see incredibly colored acro's growing like weeds in Zeovit tanks.

 

[Shawnts106]

Shawnts106, I am not telling you what to do or not to do... But if you have not done research into T5s then I would suggest that you do to make sure T5s will work for you... As with everything else they have proââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢s and conââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢s... I am in the process of a 600gal tank and I was tossing around the idea of going all T5s but with my goals and the tank specs, I think that a full T5 setup is not the key... Again I am not telling you what to do or not to do, I am just recommending that if you have not done so already please look at all aspects before you make your decision... It's easy to look at pictures and say I want that but some times you will find its not what your looking for in the long run, also what works for some does not work for others...

Thanks for the info, I have done some research after this post and I am not to sure now about doing all T5s... the watts just arent their compaired to say .. VHOS


I think I will stick to VHOS and MH ..... the T5s are nice, and I may do a small tank with all of them

By no means did I mean to say Iwans way is the only way..... Of course not.... I just simply meant that the tanks is very beautiful and he has obveously had some bit of success with this lighting


hope this clears everything up, I hate to cut so short theres alot I would like to say, but I need to rest, I got into a very bad car accident today, am lucky to be alive, and I am full of pain medication so I need to go rest.....
So I think I will...

 

[melev]

Shawn, sorry to hear about your accident and hope tomorrow you'll feel a little better.

 

[ghost]

looks like i am going to use some t5's on my 150 that is being made!

 

[Gary Tung]

very beautiful tank,new concept to use Bio-method combine with zoe and rowa etc..you are in the leading way

 

[DARKSILENTTYPE]

I have been trying to contact this company that sells the bio system but they dont respond to any of the emails I have sent is there a site in the US that I can call to get prices from ?

 

[Shawnts106]

Thanks , today is worse, I feel like I got hit head on by a frieght train more or less....


anyway.... I hope we can get in touch with these BIO people, products like these need to be in america ....


Europe has got this reef keeping thing down huh! HAHA

 

[DARKSILENTTYPE]

I found a site for the Zeovit method that has the supplys for sale . www.captiveoceans.com also has step by step instructions that can be printed . still nothing on where to find the bio supplys did find their website but like I said after three emails still no response on how or where I can purchase these supplys .

 

[elephen]

Wow makes me want to switch to T5's. What ballasts are you using to power the the lights?

 

[RedEyeReef]

Ivan, very Nice tank.

Would this be an equivlant to what you are using?

Anyone have experience with these?

Hello David

I know some reefkeeper these work with the same bases like me.
It in principle is all about the following points in the methods:
- diminution of nutrients
- supplying of elements used up
- active diet of the corals
- water change

The Zeovit method is also interesting for me. However, I don't use a zeolit as filter material. Reason: I am very satisfied with the DSB. I cannot prove any surplus nutrients.

I like to explain the effect of the components in my system. Please take into account that this system has arisen slowly. Corals react to fast changes very severely.

DSB:
Central component of my system. Many take place reduction processes in the DSB. The nutrient content is reduced and kept deep.

Zeostart2:
Reduce phosphate and nitrate. Carbon sources as a food basis for the bacteria are contained in the product.

Amino acids:
serve for the diet of the corals. The state of health can be maintained. Increase the polyp picture

CoralVitalizer:
Corals food. Contains mike and macro components. The water isn't charged by nutrients. The polyp picture increases.

Trace elements:
The trace elements used up replace.

Phytoplankton:
living plankton cells serve the diet of Micro organisms, mussels, sponges, corals polyp, zoo plankton. The plankton cells also have a metabolism and support the breakdown of nutrients.

Bacteria:
Selected bacteria cultures for the receipt of a healthy bacterium population. Basis for the breakdown of nutrients.

Bacterium food:
Carbon source for the increase of the bacterium population

WOW, you must have one of the most amazing tanks ive ever seen.....:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

 

[wmfsoll2]

WOW! Great looking tank. Nice job. Thank you for sharing.

Bill.

 

[GregM779]

Wow, amazing tank. My tank looks empty compared to yours and it's not often that I can say that.

 

[reefarchitect]

Simply incredible.

Does anyone know how many gallons this is roughly and what the dimmensions are?

You have a beautiful tank, an inspiration to us all.

Can we get a fish list?

 

[The Grim Reefer]

I wanna be iwan when I grow up

Very nice.

I vote we make iwan the new T5 guru. I never got results like that.

When the new tank goes in I am going to track the T5's PAR on a monthly basis. I've heard it is pretty typical for reefers in Japan to swap out their lamps at six months due to the spectrum shift.

Hello together

I have got my new ATI powermodule 3 days ago.
I am speechless. The light provides extremely much light. I look forward to the development of the colors.
I will inform you.

By the lateral air leaving the warmed air isn't steered on the pelvis any more.



The ventilators are an important constituent at the light. The active cooling spares not only electronics but the bulbs forms of the optimal temperature range simultaneously what means in the result for an increase of the efficiency of more than 15% compared with the models without cooling.
