I got this acro from RM last year as a. kimbeensis. Doesn't look like kimbeensis, but rather some deepwater species. What do you think?

Maybe a Lokani ??? My Lokani looks similar but it might have a smoother surface than your coral and my polyps are more blue where yours are tan with a green base...

Servicky, I would get 2 x CJ standpipes. They are easily adjustable and takes up less space. I got mine from Nautilus Reef

is there a special won to order because they look like they are designed for external. I know you have internal. i might have missed it on there sight but do you have a ballpark on price.

I understand that you use the zeovit system in combination with the pappone. Did you use sugar in the pappone recipe? People that have done a ZEO/Pappone hybrid method have noticed RTN or STN. Why? The sugar is a carbon source. So is the Zeo Start 2. Supposedly if these are both used in combination your corals will suffer. You have an awesome reef and I wouldn't want to see it go because of a mistake like this. Just a word of warning though.

I've stopped zeovit since the addition of pappone. There was period of about 2 weeks when the 2 methods combined, but slowly I've stopped zeovit.

 

[messy1messmer]

any problems with stopping the zeo.

 

[naka]

No problem at all.

 

[servicky]

awsome....well i got uncured live rock.. (kalini) not to bad looking.. only problem is i got too much 320 lbs.... in a 150......
im going to sell about 100 lbs so i sould have around 200 ish in a 150 gallon tank.. should be a good ratio...... they sent me an extra box so i took it...... 88 lbs extra....

 

[fishfanatic06]

Ok... Good!

If you don't mind me asking why did you stop ZEO and switch to the Pappone? Did the ZEO do anything negative? Or are you just trying out the other methods?

I was very impressed w/ the growth and colors of Italian tanks, so I fed my corals Pappone while doing zeovit. I noticed increase in growth and love the colors (rich pastel). Slowly increased pappone feeding and decreased zeovit dosing. It took almost 2 months of transition for me to stop zeovit.

 

[fishfanatic06]

I agree with naka. The Italian thread is the reason why I am using the pappone too.

New pictures that I took today. Notice the rich colorations.
