1. Gross water volume of my system is about 90-100 gallons. (58 gallon oceanic and 40 gallon MRC sump.
2. Net water volume is about 75-80 gallons.
3. I am using a CA CO2 reactor. Yes MRC dual nano calcium reactor.
4. I am not using a PO4 reactor.
5. No I am not using any ozone.
6. No I am not using UV.
7. I am using a MRC MR2 skimmer with PCX40 pump
8. My PO4 and NO3 levels are zero.
9. My CA levels are 450 and my ALK is at 8. Magnesium is 1380
10. I am using the zeovit filtration method
11. lighting is VHO 36 inches Super Actinic's 1-MH PFO250 1
12. Corals are mostly frags (just starting out on SPS)
13. Tissue color is extremely light
14. 2 year tank life - Zeovit method for 5 months
15. Reason to use Zeovit system: color, growth and clean looking tank
16. no supplemental dosing
17. The live rock is 2 years old and I had 80 lbs and reduced to 60 lbs. Gives more water movement in tank.
18 and 19. Problem: Most of the corals when I buy them as frags are nice tip color (like blue and green and yellow)... but after I put them in my tank something happens ... the tip colors lose their color, however the polyps are still extended and growth is substantial. I have lowered the dosing on start2 for weeks but don't see any change. If I increase the dose of start2 my corals seem to not like it and get lighter. I have recently been dosing start2 .25 ml per day. Don't like to stop start2 for a long period of time but have stopped for 2 weeks but still no change in coral color.
20. Test kit used is Salifert
21. Doses: start2 .25ml daily
ZEObak 2 drops twice a week
ZEOfood7 2 drops twice a week
Amino acids 3 drops daily
Iron concentrate 2 drops twice a week
*just started Potassiumiodine Fluoride Conzenrate 2 drops a day
and Pohl's Coral Vitalizer 2 drops a day
Stir Zeovit rocks twice a day, running water at 300 gallons per
hour
Shake Zeovit carbon once a day
10 gallon water change every week
22. My parameters are ALK 8
CA 450
PH 7.6
Mg 1380
Temp 80
PO4 is zero
NO3 is zero
PO4 and NO3 has been at zero for a long time.
