Here's my experience.
Before I had just a standard system with a sump, refugium calcium reactor and kalk reactor.
This is one year after using the zeovit method. Shortly after last september I tore the tank down due to economy issues.
You can see the growth on the acro's within one year and color improvement. I have better pictures of the corals if your looking for close ups.
Thanks for starting this thread!

Not sure if you want this type of post here, but based on the other thread I think it's acceptable.
I think many of you guys sell yourself short by giving Zeo, Brightwell, or whatever method credit..........when your tank maintenance and equipment is the reason why your tanks are successful.
6 months of growth without a carbon dosing method. 2x20% monthly water changes, skimming, occasional GFO, and two part dosing. T5 lighting.

Why is your sand blue?

Yeah Yeah
I have 4 blue+ ,1 fiji purple, and 1 ge 65k bulb in my fixture. Getting a white balance setting is a mess. The first 2 bulbs (over the sandbed) are blue+ making it look blue. The last bulb is a ge65k which is why the back of the tank has a 10k yellow look. If you think this is photo shopped I would be more than happy to send you high res pics so you can see more detail.
I understand its not photoshopped, but a more realistic white balance would be better.

So would a 300gal reef instead of this little nano
:lmao:
I know what you mean on both accounts. White balance can be a pain; I can never get mine straight.
I'm curious to see others' results as well.

What is your dosing schedule on your solana? An what are you dosing?

Nice of you to ask AFTER you posted there Jackson:hmm4: And - um...NO this is not the right argue whether or not it is worthwhile to use Zeo-Vit, or Brightwell or similar. Or to post pics of tanks NOT using those methods.
THIS thread was started so that those who USE these mtehods could show their tank pictures.
BTW - you do have a nice looking tank.

Yeah Yeah
My bad, have a mod delete my post. This is why I deleted my post on the other thread. I usually stay away from carbon dosing threads
Sounds like a good idea...on all counts....
Why is it that only folks that want to argue AGAINST one method or another want to post in some of the threads on this site?????
Look - there is no reason why we cannot talk about what works for all of us - in a positive context - but you really should not feel proud of yourself for disparaging other'e methods. When you make comments..."don't sell yourself short with using Brightwell or Zeo"...or similar - you really are saying that you know better, or that someone is dumb for trying something else.
When you do this - you abbreviate the amount that it is possible for you to learn from others. Period. You DO feel like there is something else you might be able to learn - don't you?
I hope we all feel that way.

Yeah Yeah
You're taking my post out of context. I didn't "disparage" any threads and I do not feel proud. You're not getting what I was saying. I said don't give these methods all the credit. Meaning the routine maintenance + water changes, Big skimmer, good lights and flow certainly have more to do with success than adding a line of additives used in conjunction. I never said I was for or against any. Honestly I am not for any 1 method.

.......................................................................................................................
So, while appreciate your input, and your explanation of said input - I thought the context was clear: You feel that the best result come from water changes, equipment and maintenance. Fair enough. I happen to agree with that...up to a point.
That point is where a lot of us feel that there must exist an additional regimen that can adress the more finite points of the biological and chemical demands in ways that your ( and mine for that matter) method as you defined - fall a bit short for some.
Hence, if you would please re-read the title of this thread, you will notice what it is about.
Jackson - I do not want you to feel un-welcome here. And I really don't want you to feel that I am picking on you. I just want all of us to have the opportunity to see as many of the ULN run tanks as possible, with the details of how, and what is dosed from Brightwell, or Zeo-Vit, or Elos, or Fauna Marin to achieve their results.

Yeah Yeah
Gotcha! Sorry for coming off close-minded.
Not a problem Jackson - we all want to believe that we are doing what is the best, most common sense thing for our aquaria.
I am trying to keep my own opinions in nuetral - because - tho I am pretty happy with what I am doing currently- I do think there may be something to learn from the ULN methods out there. Only because of the COLORS of the corals that most seem to produce!:inlove:
And - there may be more to understand about nutrient export via bacteria/carbon dosing,...etc
So - please - hang around here, and contribute, ask questions, and so on!
I know I will be too.
