1. Gross water volume of your complete system (incl. sump etc.) – 180g
2. Net water volume (incl. sump etc.) - ~150g with rock work factored in
3. Are you using a CaCO2 reactor or other technique – BRS 4 part w/ trace elements at 50%
4. Are you using a PO4 reactor - No
5. Are you using Ozone - No
6. Are you using UV - No
7. What skimmer are you using (type, rated water volume) – Eshopps X-220 (rated for 200-250g)
8. What are your actual PO4 and NO3 levels – Po4= 0.04ppm, No3= 0 (Multiple Icp tests as well as, Hanna, Salifert and Nyos tests to confirm this)
9. What are your actual Ca, Alk and Mg levels – Ca= 450, Alk= 8.9 dKH (maybe lower this?), Mg= 1240
10. What filtration method do you use (refugium, DSB, Miracle Mud, etc.) – ZeoVit reactor w/ carbon dosing (Zeofood, ZeoStart, etc.)
11. Type of light (Watt, color temp, how old, etc.) – Radion XR30 Gs and Reef Brite XHO blues
12. What corals do you keep – SPS only, mostly acropora mille, spath and tenuis
13. Tissue color (light or dark) – LIGHT tissue/pale
14. How long has the tank been running – 2 years with ZeoVit from day 1
15. Why do you want to use the ZEOvit system – Good growth and coloration
16. Any supplemental dosing (type, amount, why, etc.) – Pohl’s Xtra Special @ 6ml/day, Coral Vitalizer @ 6 drops daily, KZ Amino Acids @ 6 drops daily, Flatworm Stop 6ml day, Coral Booster 3mls every other day, ZeoFood Plus 12 drops MWF.
17. Live rock (how much, how old, etc.) – 2 year old dry rock
18. Any present problems – SUPER light tissue in many Tenuis, and other SPS. Millepora and spathulate have normal/bright coloration.
19. Problem description (tissue loss tips, tissue loss base, diatom bloom, algae, etc.) – Luckily no tissue lost, just ULTRA pale corals minus certain species (mentioned above)
20. What test kit do you use (how old, recently switched, etc.) – ATI ICP, ICP analysis, Neptune Trident, Hanna Checkers and Nyos & Salifert hobby tests.
21. Present dosing, amounts and intervals (ZEOvit, ZEObak, ZEOfood, ZEOstart, ZEOspur2, etc.) 1.5l ZeoVit, 6 drops Zeobak 2x a week, ZeoStart 0.6mls daily (0.3ml 2x a day), ZeoFood 12 drops 3x a week, Pohl’s Xtra Special @ 6ml/day, Coral Vitalizer @ 6 drops daily, KZ Amino Acids @ 6 drops daily, Flatworm Stop 6ml day, Coral Booster @ 3ML every other day.
22. Other water parameters and water stability (salinity, temp, etc.) Specific gravity is 1.026, temp stays at 78f. No issues in these areas.
23. Which salt brand do you use – HW Reefer
So, any idea what to do in order to fix these paled out corals? All parameters are good minus low No3 and Po4....
