Bob, I need a visual inspection

[t0mmy108]

How do you think my corals look? Are they showing any negative signs? I started Zeovit on March 17, 2005 and followed your recomendations exactly. I got careless and added 5 ml of Zeospur 2 in my 200gal system today. Tell me what to look for as signs os distress. These are the pictures taken hours before the Zeospur2.

distress??

I think you're just trying to show off

[t0mmy108]

[t0mmy108]

Well, that's about half. I'll get the rest tomorrow. I can't wait to see what the ZeoSpur2 will do in the morning.

[OUinLA]

They all look fine. Keep up the good work.

[Funkyskunk]

looks good to me, maybe only one recommendation, is add 1000ml dose of ZEOtimeFormula
No seriously it is looking great well done! :biggthump

Hi Tom, I really like you coral selection. Good show thus far. With the first zeolite exchange, plz. post up your parameters/nutrient levels/net vol/present zeo-dosages for titration in the next 6wks. Thnx, well done Bob

So far...
Ca=420
Alk=8.2
ph=8.1 day/ 8.0 night
effluent ph from Ca reactor=6.9
nitrates/phosphates=0~0.1
temp=80~82
lights=5X250W MH, 2XVHO Actinics on Icecap660
Tank volume is ~200 gallons w/2" sandbed in isolated areas.

I'm at 1.5 ml start daily, 6 drops bac/food twice a week, 2 litres zeorocks, 4 cups carbon passively.
It's been 12 hours since the ZeoSpur2 and no notable changes in appearance. I'll keep you posted in 12 more hours.
Thanks everyone!

You should of already of seen some change with Spur. Maybe you didnt do enough! but be careful. dont over do it How much spur did you use? Also, if your not at a certain phase in ZEOvit, you wont see a change. I remember when I first did it, I was dissapointed.. but 2-3 months later, it made a world of a difference.

[t0mmy108]

I used 5 ml of Spur2 about 8 p.m. last night. I also kneeded the cardon and rinsed it a little then pumped the rocks. I kicked on the halides early today to look but don't really see anything. Which species would be the most sensitive?

here are cuople of Oregons....

[invincible569]

5 was probably too low for your 200g+ tank. BUt this is good. At least you know now that 5 is not the magic number. For my tank,i use 5ml and I am at 140 total. But i did start off at 4ml. 5 was the G spot for my tank.

[t0mmy108]

If nothing happens, I'll wait 2 weeks and do 6 ml. What do you think?

[GTR]

If the PO4 level of .1 is correct I'd try to get that lower. Lowering the PO4 will give you long term results and follow that with the ZEOspur2 which will be temporary.
