I can honestly say that it is definitely the most beautiful tank ever in my mind, I really like it....

I have experience with CoralSnow Plus. Compared with CoralSnow, my actual experience is that CoralSnow Plus - skimmer collects dirt in the cup better, but the degree of mud collection is not as much as CoralSnow. On the nutritional side of things - CoralSnow Plus wins. Deposit reduction and cleaning...

Carrying out the program as described in # 4 requires an accurate device to titrate the solution (ZeoVit official website, there are individual elemental boosters) I would recommend this. Or higher purity chemical products. Products should not contain other trace elements.

The ZeoVit system is a bacterial system to reduce nutrients, it takes time for the bacteria to grow, if you remove the old filter at one time, this affects the biological changes, follow the time/interval as suggested, it is good to gradually reduce it step by step, once the system Solid nutrients...

[jacky]

If you ask me too, my answer is: Bacterial growth speeds up the process, avoids rapid reducing changes in biology and nutrition, and slows things down in a step-by-step balanced manner, allowing coral animals to adapt at intervals.

Enter the ZeoVit system and start with the correct recommended salinity and slowly adjust the base water parameters gradually

NSW basic water parameters:
Kh 6.5-7.5
Ca 400-420
Mg 1250-1300
K+~380g

Don't be nervous, I'm sure it's a pleasant and exciting thing, it's really good that I'm with you. Follow the advice, step by step, this is good, once the ZeoVit system is running well, the nutrient content is low, and due to the nutrient reduction, the base water parameters are gradually kept as stable...

[jacky]

Yes, but it is recommended to use high-precision equipment, the dose is usually 1 drop or 1ml corresponds to 100 liters. Certain products such as: ZeoBac, BioMate and Coral Vitalizer are also recommended to be stored within the temperature range of +4°C to +20°C after opening, i.e. +39.2°F to +68°F....

In my tank, nitrate and phosphate cannot be measured using the hanna test kit, all corals are healthy/growth, stable in nutrient depletion, and 0 for a long time is also one of the reasons why I use the ZeoVit system.

Cyano and Dino are not directly related to nutrient deficiencies, maybe...

I'm not sure (whether SpongePower can be diluted), waiting for G.Alexander's reply. If it can, I'm really, really sorry.

[jacky]

I have no experience actually diluting them. I personally do dosing by hand, to be honest - I'll definitely be in the tank caring/observing corals every day, I love doing dosing by hand, it's such a simple thing for me. My impression - SpongePower cannot be diluted, acro glow - I have no experience...

[jacky]

I have the impression that 1ml seems to be about 23-24 drops (I forgot). It is not recommended to mix acroglow with SpongePower, it is good to add them separately, and if I understand what you mean, heating (temperature increase?) is not recommended or necessary. Regular Xtra is recommended, Xtra...

[jacky]

I have no experience mixing other products like this. I recommend you use the full system rather than a mash-up. This is going in the right direction.

[jacky]

I'll choose to suspend Zeo Food7 for a while due to the brown film on the rocks. The tank is still young, the biology seems to be still developing, and the dosing schedule you listed may need adjustments.

ZeoBak: 3 Drops 2-3 times a week
ZeoFood: stop adding
ZeoStart: 0.3ml...

B-Balance has a softening effect on corals by lightening tissue. By changing the water several times - refresh the elements in a balanced way.

[jacky]

A brownish color on the surface of the zeolite material in the reactor is a normal sign (and mine does) and nothing to worry about. Suspend the Zeo Spur2, I also recommend suspending the BB due to the light tissue.

[jacky]

Base water parameters seem to be ok, magnesium/calcium/potassium are a little higher, basically if the system is nutrient poor, it is recommended to keep these parameters a little lower (keep at NSW level recommendation).

Magnesium 1450, is really high, not sure if it comes from the extra...

[jacky]

If you want, adding some functional animals, eg: snails, might help

[jacky]

thanks. tank is still very young. Due to your description, there is a bit of brown algae. I suggest that you temporarily stop adding AA and Food7 until the situation improves.

Nutrient/Coloration Products - Changes in coral appearance, not negative effects of coral TN. (Negative reaction here, that's what I mean)
