Hi,iwan~
I'm very very like your reefs
:eek2:
I have little question ,may I ask you
about your sand,have make any trouble on your ZEO system?
Thanks
Hi Willan
Well, i don't have a pure Zeo-system. I use a hybrid system and the DSB (deep sand bed) is one of the most important parameter to reduce nutrients in this method.

Re: Re: Back fro the Red Sea
@ all Red Sea-questioners:
I have used my Sony "DSC-P10" camera for the photos. This is the identical camera which I also use for the photos of my tank. Of course I need a sub-water case for the diving pictures.
I have dived at the reefs of the south Sinai around Sharm el Sheikh.
The region has three main areas:
- Ras Mohamed
- Tiran
- Local
There are various diving places in every main area.
The condition of the reefs is different. The places in this Ras Mohamed national park are intact.
The most of the reefs in Tiran are also healthy. The local spots are partly damaged a little.

great pics! Where did you stay? Did you go to the tip? How is the health of the reefs?
Wow...what a find! Do you have an ID on this?
This foto shows a snail: "Flabellina affinis"
I made this foto two years ago in Elba (Mediterean sea/Italy)

surprise....surprise
Do you know the tank on the cover of "reefkeeping" volume 5 2006? http://reefkeeping.com/index.htm
Thanks Ron.
You know your reef could be on the cover every month!!
Snuck one in from the med huh?
iwan, I do have a serious question: I am not happy with the lighting over my remote DSB/refugium and have been contemplating going to T-5 lamps. I am not getting good macro growth, but the pods are doing well since I collected a bunch locally. This DSB/refugium gravity feeds into my display tank and has a powerhead to keep things moving a bit.
Can you make a recommendation for a lamp/reflector/ballast combination? The tub is 30 inches x 48 inches and there is only about 7 inches of water above the sand.
I am particularly interested in any advice you can give about ballast/lamp compatibility and lamp color temp. you would choose.
Thanks for any help!! I am really glad to see pictures from the Sinai. Going there is a real safari and the rewards are great!

Quick Reference Guide
Quick Reference Guide
Stunning photos again Iwan
Just makes me realise how much more I can aim for
I'v attached a quick 'reference guide' to the components taking info from various sources. I'd be greatful if you could have a look and make any suggestions - particulalry arround coloration effect and dosages.
There are a few of us now who have achieved the low nutrient phase, and the color modeling is the greater challenge - so any help would be great.
Many thanks
Simon

Iwan,
You have a lot of fish and 0 nutrients..... what do you feed your tank ? how often you do it ? how much do you feed ?
I don't have a doubt that all the products you are adding to your tank are helping to keep your nutrients very low, but in no part of this thread I have seen a reference to feeding.
Thanks for your answer.

Re: Quick Reference Guide
Hi Simon,
good idea with the quick guide.
I use the most additions with more or less the same dosage.
I dose following products in a other way:
KB: I dosed it at the begin daily and now weekly (1ml/100l)
Iron: I dose it 1x per month
PIF: I dose it 1x per month
Cheers
Iwan

Hi Iwan,
Congrats , your tank is very beautiful , I hope to attain that level eventually one day.
My question to you is, what would be the protocol when starting a new tank with DSB and LR in regards to probidio products?
Thanks

Hi,
Simon wrote a good guide. The first and the second point are important at the beginning of the method (Nutrient reduction and Coral Feeding). The 3th point (Coloring) is for the advanced user. First the water parameter should be in the optimal range. After that the improving of coloring is recommended. You have to be comfortable with the effects of the reduction of nutrients and coral-feeding, before you'll try to modelling the colors.
