Hi Everyone,
I have the following
1. Gross water volume of your complete system (incl. sump etc.) - 940 liter
2. Net water volume (incl. sump etc.) - 800 liter
3. Are you using a CaCO2 reactor or other technique - not yet, planning to start once Calcium is down, as of now only dosing KH
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) - Royal Exclusive 250 - rated for 2000l
8. What are your actual PO4 and NO3 levels - PO4 - 0.02, NO3 - 0
9. What are your actual Ca, Alk and Mg levels - CA - 470, ALK - 7.5, MG - 1252
10. What filtration method do you use (refugium, DSB, Miracle Mud, etc.) - Fleece filter
11. Type of light (Watt, color temp, how old, etc.) - Led Ecotech G5 + T5
12. What corals do you keep - SPS + LPS
13. Tissue color (light or dark) - Normal
14. How long has the tank been running - 3 months
15. Why do you want to use the ZEOvit system - Stable parameters to keep SPS + colors
16. Any supplemental dosing (type, amount, why, etc.) - KH dosing till Calcium level is decreased so that I can start Calcium reactor
17. Live rock (how much, how old, etc.) - Deadrock (Caribsea Liferock) - Approximately 10% (have it my sump as well). Bare bottom.
18. Any present problems - excessive green algae
19. Problem description (tissue loss tips, tissue loss base, diatom bloom, algae, etc.) - there was some tissue loss at bottom, but it is recovering now. Only for acropora - not sure.
20. What test kit do you use (how old, recently switched, etc.) - Salifert, Hanna
21. Present dosing, amounts and intervals (ZEOvit, ZEObak, ZEOfood, ZEOstart, ZEOspur2, etc.) - Please find it attached
22. Other water parameters and water stability (salinity, temp, etc.) Salinity - 34-35, Temp - 25C. Attached please find ICP test
23. Which salt brand do you use -
I have the following questions:
- High calcium. I was dosing CoralSnow - Can it be the reason for high Ca? As of now I see it the only reason for high calcium as source water is approximately Ca 420
and I do approximately 5% water change per week (6 liters of water change on a daily basis).
- Excessive Green Algae - Probably several reasons:
1) Start of aquarium barebottom
2) Use of deadrock (Caribsea Liferock)
3) Algae boomed after Zeovit stone echanged after 2 monthes, I tried PolybLab Polyp-Booster + Some Coral Food by Founa Marine, which probably resulted in high Phosphates,
which were consumed by green algae. Shall I change my dosing schedule?
- Upon exchange of 90% of zeovit stones every 2 months - How shall I dose Zeobak - Each day for the first 10 days or Every other day for the first 10 days?
Many thanks for your help.
