At the lfs, they had some “mini micro clowns”
I thought I’d try one,
But walked out with two.

Well, when I was time to feed the fish, that night,
I thought, “ problem “ I hope they are eating pellets?? Being soooo small in all.
didn’t want to adding...

I have not cycle a tank for a long time,
I have never started a tank using Zeovit.

Tank pic with some form
of algae on rocks and sand. (Brown)
Green on the glass.

- coral snow plus

would it be beneficial to add small amounts for the tank and help keep po4 down. Or better to just let it run I’d course and build up the bacteria...

This afternoon I gave the tank a algae wipe down( inside glass) The water levers on the tank is a little on the high side. Magnet clean movement can splash water over the edge.

Did some testing to day.
Tanks seem to be drinking 15ml kh a day.

Kh- 6.7
Mg- 1280...

Just go home from work.

The first sign of algae 👍

I don’t really like this disco or shimmering effect this light makes. Bounces back on the wall and ceiling. Disco Tech.

Got the MG and KH in-line,
NO3 last night was 0.1-0.5...

I don't think anyone is blaming or relating DINO's to ZEOVIT products

[NZ-Nick]

Hey there Gandalf,

Dino's is a hard one,

Hey, i have read alot about them, and i think you are going to have to be strong,

I know its expensive and can be time consuming, But good water changes will help 1/ corals, 2/...

Hi ya,

I have never use one of these skimmer,

I assume that the hose to the nozzel is joined through the body ??

Hi ya,

Just a couple of ideas,

- Your first pic, has alot of algae on the pump and top left item in pic,

If we give the tank a good scrub, and remove as much algae, it will help a lot in purging the system along.
(rock, pumps, frag racks anything with alage...
