Zeovit. semana 11

[premmas]

Hola
Esta semana he empezado con la 3 carga de zeovit.
This week I have just started the third zeovit exchange

dosis y parámetros: Dose and parameters
Volumen: 430 litros
bak: 2 gotas/3 veces por semana
food: 1 gota/ 3 veces por semana
Start2: 0.1 ml/2 veces por dia
AAHC: 2 gotas por dia

Parámetros:
Salinidad: 1024
KH: 6
Ca: 420
Mg: 1200
NO3: Test Tropic Marin: 1er. color de la tarjeta = <1 mg/l
PO4: Test Tropic Marin: entre 1º y 2º color de la tarjeta: 0.01 ÷ 0.05 mg/l

Desde el primer dia los valores de NO3 y PO4 no han variado en absoluto. Siempre igual. Porqué puede ser esto?
Hay algun test con mayor y mejor resolución.

NO3 and PO4 parameters have not changed from the first day. Always equal.
Why can be that? Is there any test with better resolution?

He realizado una nueva limpieza de bryopsis y el acuario ahora está mas bonito.
El crecimiento de los corales parece haberse detenido o es mas lento y ciertos colores se han vuelto algo mas pálidos como comentó Devil que le habia ocurrido anteriormente, quizas en la misma etapa en la que estoy yo ahora.

I have done a new clean-up to removed the bryopsis and the thank is nicer
The coral's growth seems stopped or it is lower. Some colours are softer so Devil said when he was in the same step that me, I think.


Algún comentario, por favor .... Any comments, please ?
Gracias

Hi J.Carlos, you're definitely doing just fine, & you're dosages are appropriate for the next 6wks. cycle. Remember, there will be N's/P's leaching back into the waters from "sequestered"-nutrients in your live rock/live sand, etc. for a time, some longer than others, depending on the stored nutrients to be depleted. Eventually, as you see the nutrients reduce by your testing, then you've depleted the reserve-nutrients from your system, & color,/growth will accelerate I use Salifert's N03 & Hanna colorimeter P04's tests. Your N03 test kit is fine if <1yr. old. The reagents do become inaccurate as they age. The Hanna colorimeter is invaluable as it's very sensitive for saltwater P04's. Their N03 reagent is not reliable for our use in seawater at this time. J.Carlos, what do you mean by softer coral coloration, good or bad? Thnx. Bob

Bob, i think he means that colour on his corals are getting pale.

[premmas]

Exacto, los colores son más pálidos en algunos corales
Exactly, The colors are getting pale

Thanks Bob and Brian

Hi JCarlos, if your corals are lightening , try increasing AAHC to 4 drops daily, begin Coral-Vitalizer & K-Balance. All these will enhance coral coloration, growth & health Bob

[Brian]

Bob, whats K-Balance

[Aged Salt]

Hi Brian, thnx, for your clarifying post on "pale" K-Balance is the newest zeo-supplement in the Korallen-Zucht line, helpful in certain situations where color weakening[fading] of our corals occurs due to K+ element deficiency. This condition can occur[assuming parameters are inline] due to the K-leak in some salts, overskimming & overutilization as seen in high bioload, overstocked reefs. Brian, plz. do a search here under K-Balance for more information, as there's a informative discussion on K-Balance. Bob

Thanks Bob

Hola J. Carlos, si tus corales están palideciendo, trata de incrementar AAHC a 4 gotas diarias, comienza Coral-vitalizer & K-Balance. Todos estos mejoraran la coloración, creciemiento y salud de los corales

Brian pregunta a Bob que es el K-Balance

Hola Brian, gracias por clarificar el post sobre "pálido". K-Balance es el mas nuevo de los zeo-suplementos de la linea Korallen-Zucht, provechoso en ciertas situaciones donde el debilitamiento del color de nuestros corales ocurre por una deficiencia de los elementos K+. Esto puede ocurrir (asumiendo que los parámetros están en linea) debido a la perdida de K en algunas sales, sobre-espumación y arrecifes sobresaturados y alta carga biologica. Hacer una busqueda aquí bajo "K-balance" para mas información. Hay una discusion informativa sobre K-Balance

Un saludo

Hola Bob,
He estado leyendo el post sobre K-Balance y veo que se trata principalmente de la falta de potasio.
Antes del zeovit yo dosificaba ioduro de potasio en una dosis de 10 ml por 100 litros de agua cada 2 semanas.
Podria seguir dosificando este producto?,
Gracias,

Hi Bob, I have been reading a post on K-balance and I see that it is a question principally of the lack of potassium.
Before zeovit I dosed Iodine of potasium on 10ml/100l. every 2 weeks.
Can I dose that again?
Thank you
:worried:

Hi J.Carlos, I do not know the composition of K-Balance. If you decide to give KI a try, dose at 6 drops 3x's/wk. If you're dosing PIF, be careful with iodide excess, in which the coral color becomes too dark very quickly or tissue recession at the tips occurs. Bob

Ok Bob,

Hola J.Carlos, Yo no sé la composición de K-Balance. Si tu decides dar KI dosifica 6 gotas 3 veces/por semana. Si estas dosificando PIF se cuidadose con el exceso de Iodo ya que el coral se vuelve oscuro muy rápidamente or hay perdida de tejido en las puntas.

Aun no estoy dosificando PIF.
Cuando tu dices KI te refieres al Ioduro de Potasio?

I am not dosing PIF yet.
When you say KI, do you mean Iodine of potasium?
thanks

Hola Bob. Hi Bob
Recuerdas esta foto con la perdida de tejido en la acropora?
Do you remember this picture in which you can see lack of tissue on the coral?

Lo que hice fui subir el HQI que estaba encima de la acropora.
Este coral es el que mas a "palidecido" de color.
Puede deberse a esto?

I place the HQI more up because it was on the acro..
This coral is palest of all
Can It be due to that?

Thanks

Hi J.Carlos, photoburn will first occur at the tips, unless there's a "hot-spot" focused on the center part of the coral, I do not think this is the cause. I believe you will brighten the coral by increasing AAHC as noted above, & dosing C-V. After dosing these, if the color is still faded, add K-Balance. Bob

Hola J. Carlos, las quemaduras por exceso de luz ocurren primero en las puntas, sino hay un foco apuntando directamente a la parte central del coral, no creo que esa sea la causa. Creo que puedes aumentar el brillo de tus corales incrementando el AAHC y dosificando C-C. Despues de esto si los colores siguen apagados, añade K-Balance
