Hi Josep, thnx for sharing your reef. I really like your reefscape & your system seems very well planned. Of course, with the ZEOvit method, the Grotech zeolites & additives are not used. Their carbon is fine, though I would recommend it be used passively & not through a reactor. Using it in a reactor can be done but with the quantity decreased from the guidelines[1 Cup/400ltrs. net volume] & the interval exchange of the carbon increased. Bob

Supertutu, how do you like your IKS?

[Supertutu]

Hi

Thanks Bob.

invincible569:
I'm very happy with IKS, is one of my best buys. Really strong, easy to configure, with a lot of options (except Ca) and (on my opinion )very good sensors.

[invincible569]

Supertutu, thanks for the response. I have been seeing a lot of people with the IKS and it looks to be a great buy. I wish I could see one in person to make a better judgement.

[Supertutu]

You can come to my home where you want, but I think is a little bit far!!

I thikn with the price of the plane ticket to Spain, I can buy an IKS system.

Ahh another DSB-er, I'm not a lone outcast any longer

[Supertutu]

I'm in love to my DSB,maybe I'm in love to the ugly girl, but it like it soo much, nice denitrator and aquarium looks more natural. You can have some species very specials species that only lives on sand. Otherwise I have "nice" fights with my powerheads.

KH 7 (before dossing pumps add)

some pictures of my new frags (sorry but pictures are really bad, colors are better than shows)

Josep, I like your coral selection & placement. The coral trip was well worth the effeort. After these mature, these will really be stunning Bob

[fkadir]

Very nice. Like Bob said, just wait till it grows up.. it will be very nice. Seems like you are a Grotech Fan!

[Supertutu]

I expect that they grow without issues ( I think that I've the record more than 30 hours driving for corals ).
If these corals don't grows nice I will change to golf.

[premmas]

Hi supertutu,

The corals are very beautiful.
Where did you drive to buy the corals?

[Supertutu]

that's a secret!!!
