This tank is going to look fantastic with everything attached to the shelves on the rear wall and everything else. Can't wait to see it all filled in!

is that a zeo reactor I see in your sump :)

yes it is zeovit reactor, i still leraning & learning more of this zeo system. last 2 week i run 3 hours on/off interval on zeo reactor, in 2 day time brown algae booming. so i turn the lighting 0ff for a week, brown algae stop growing, but the macro alage dying :mad2: :mad2:

so far i only put around 15 anthias, 2 tiny clown fish(my daughter nemo). o sps yet, still hard to get at the moment, rainin g season, also the supplier still waiting new cities

yesterday i do water testing
posphate 0 was 5 last week
nitrate 5 was 0 last week. must slim down!!!
mg only 900 (still checking maybe not enough mg granule in cr)
kh 10.30 a bit to high.
 
here pict of tank bottom cover by brown algae, some of the already scrub by turbo, i only got 2 turbo at the moment, seem like the job to much for both of them

after struggel from brown algae, finally i got advice from Bob & Gary from zeovit forum, i remove the sand, mud & dying macro alage, this cause of the brown algae growth.
also i remove po4 removal. i will cycling another 2-3 weeks after parameter line are good can bring the coral in:) :) :)
 
The brown algae - was it diatoms or the stuff that comes from zeo overdoses?

BTW - hello again Johan. I met you recently on UR.:wave: You have a very nice build going!
 
Yes the skimmer is set to dry i would set it a little more to the wet side using zeo ... Very nice set up ... What stage are you in for the zeo have you changed the first zeos yet ??

thx mike,
it was brown hairy algae, according to Bob(agesalt) at zeovit forum brown algae cause by mud & my dying macro algae. my friend got same problem, his macro algae dying & his tank got hairy brown algae.
after 2 days remove macroalagae & mud, No3 down to 2, was on 5. i will recheck in couple days. hope in on the track

hallo cinqmars

now i set the skim little wetter then before. i just use the zeovit araound 2 weeks, i havent change yet, waiting the zeovit stock come in to Singapore then send to here. the indonesia zeovit run out at the moment & he still hold the shipping from kz due to Indonesia custom matter.
 
i find out the mg granule in my cr is run out. i decided to use mg in seperate chmbr, is easier to monitor the granule

Hi John,

Looks like its coming along great. I take it you no longer have algae problems?

Do you have any full tank shots. I am considering 1000W BLV 14,000K lamps for my build and am very interested in how they look. Are you happy with yours?

Thanks.
