I'll read into it. I've heard a bit about it but not that much in depth. Is it total system supplements like all calcium or just a food

Its more than that. Its a grueling daily regiment with several different components, some elemental, some dietary, some biological/bacterial... In a nutshell, its a base bacterial strain in which will thrive off unwanted reef nutrients to establish lower nitrate and phosphate levels, and this is where the foods come in, they will replenish the diet of the coral and bring out amazing colors. Other additives such as Sponge Power will interact with water clarity, but helping sponges and tunicates thrive, hence filtering the water and such; others assist in bringing out amazing polyp extension, and providing bursts of growth where corals normally would not...

This is just a simple summary of my experience and opinion from what I have noticed. It's all reflective of proper conditions for the system to thrive...Lighting, parameters such as Alk, Ca, Mg...

Sounds pretty intense.

It's actually not. It becomes so routine the more you get into it. I get excited now to add my KZ products to see how the tank will react!

Did you get any of the equipment? I saw there were reactors out for it. Or is it just simple dosing?

Full ZEOvit is with the reactor and ZEOlite stones. I do not run those. My tank is too small, and its an all in one. Its all about ideal conditions!

so r u using the zeovit nano?

I started by using the Nano Pack, then I added the Amino Acid Concentrate for SPS... Then I was getting such great results I expanded the use of the products:

Korallen-Zucht Pohl's Xtra
Korallen-Zucht Sponge Power
Korallen-Zucht Pohl's Coral Vitalizer
Korallen-Zucht Amino Acid LPS
Korallen-Zucht Amino Acid High Concentrate
Korallen-Zucht Coral Booster
Korallen-Zucht Coral Snow
Korallen-Zucht Bio-Mate
Korallen-Zucht ZeoBak Microorganism Solution

A little project this afternoon, Remounting my brackets to accommodate the size of the new T5 (from LED) & repainting old walls with fresh neutral colours!

Love reading your updates Tron!
I couldn't wait for the Cadlights 150 skimmer so ended up getting a reef octopus. Hope I made the right decision.
How are you liking the new T5? Would you go back to full leds again?

Why did you have to wait? They backordered?

I'm loving T5's. Check this out... Led to t5... Completely shifting colours.

Thanks for keeping track! Be sure to look for a new thread coming soon for the new CAD 34g Mini-II they are sending me!

Hmmm I have a frag that started out a brownish green, and is now starting to change colors similar to your valida. Do the tips of your acro's branches have like a neon yellowish streak? Mine is starting to develop the light blueish-purple tinge as well.

Very neat tank

Hm, if its a frag, it means it was a cut tip of another coral, so who knows what true colors lie beneath... Mine are bright blue tips, and then it transitions into an earth toned color, the polyps should turn green or yellow in time... the tissues are still morphing from LEDs

Thanks!

Dude, sweet! Will do. Looking forward to it.

My Nexus 5 still hates LED.

 

[Jmcgreef]

My s4 really hates my Kessil too. Are you liking the t-5s? To be honest I should have done more research when looking at lights.
