Hi everyone,
I am in the process of setting up a new tank. It will be an SPS dominant bare bottom ZEOvit system. I will be ready to add water this week and am looking for some startup suggestions.
Like I said before the tank will be a bare bottom and will also have an NSA aquascape. I realize the going with the bare bottom and NSA aquascape will significantly extend the cycle and delay the time before the first livestock. I am ok with that, this is not my first tank and I am willing to wait to get it right.
Below is my tank info:
1. Gross water volume of your complete system (incl. sump etc.) - US gallons / UK gallons / liter: 100 USg
2. Net water volume (incl. sump etc.) - US gallons / UK gallons / liter
3. Are you using a CaCO2 reactor or other technique: Bulk Reef Supply Pharma two-part
4. Are you using a PO4 reactor (how long, how long ago, etc.): No
5. Are you using Ozone: No
6. Are you using UV: No
7. What skimmer are you using (type, rated water volume): NYOS 160
8. What are your actual PO4 and NO3 levels: not started yet
9. What are your actual Ca, Alk and Mg levels: not started yet
10. What filtration method do you use (refugium, DSB, Miracle Mud, etc.): Addition of Brightwell XPORT-NO3 and XPORT-Bio Bricks to sump
11. Type of light (Watt, color temp, how old, etc.): Aquatic Life T5 Hybird. with 2x Kessil A360x
12. What corals do you keep: Primarily SPS
13. Tissue color (light or dark)
14. How long has the tank been running: Hasn't been started yet
15. Why do you want to use the ZEOvit system: I have seen the proven results with the ZEOvit system
16. Any supplemental dosing (type, amount, why, etc.)
17. Live rock (how much, how old, etc.): Marco rock
18. Any present problems
19. Problem description (tissue loss tips, tissue loss base, diatom bloom, algae, etc.)
20. What test kit do you use (how old, recently switched, etc.): Primarily Hanna
21. Present dosing, amounts and intervals (ZEOvit, ZEObak, ZEOfood, ZEOstart, ZEOspur2, etc.)
22. Other water parameters and water stability (salinity, temp, etc.): 1.025, 78.5F
23. Which salt brand do you use: Tropic Marin Reef Pro
