Hi Todd, you'll need to refresh my recollection Your net vol? Nutrient levels? Appearance of your corals, light or dark/coral-tip condition, & diatomaceous formation? Thnx. Bob

Net volume is going to be 80 gallons. Everything is looking real good with no tip thinning. No alage blooms either. I am currenlty ussing 1/2 liter of the media. Only problems I have had are getting my PH over 8 in my tank.

Thanks,
Todd

Hi Todd, sounds great thus far With this change of the zeolites, increase the quantity of stones to 3/4ltr. at a flow rate of 75gph & the interval between stone changes becomes 6wks. & that will be the zeolite amount & interval time from now on. Continue the same zeo amounts as before, but with new zeolites this time the bak/food will be dosed every other day for the first two wks. then 2x's/wk. Dose the same quantity of Start every day. The carbon is always changed out every 4wks. Bob
