Moving Forward
So I have taken plenty of advice from @OSCAR85 and I have purchased B Balance and K Balance and soon will be buying an Avast Vibe reactor as well as either an ARKA or Pacific Sun or GHL2 Doser and will be getting this thing automated.

I will start the first dosage tonight, have picked up a Pink Pocci and some other-opora coral lol we'll see how they do :)

:confused:
Personal joke....you see....@mtg he likes to talk on the phone in fact we were on the phone for 1hr 20min last night lol and these things get mentioned but i think he switches off when i talk and just waits for his queue to talk lol :P

@MTG I guess pacific sun are the only ones boasting to dose zeo with their doser and have the software that you tell it how big your bottle is and it knows not to run dry and stuff like that however the ARKA has a chilling unit and stirrer (needed for some zeo) and also comes with a back siphon so once it does its dose it takes out the liquid left inside the tubes to give itself a clean start....and the GHL well...its GHL lol but at this point in time the pac sun is extremely better value for money and they're releasing really cool add-ons

cummon man im not good at reading shit online and talking at the phone at the same time give me a break haha..

it does sound like the pacific sun is a good way to go, but the arka chilling sounds equally cool.... what about one of each? :D

They're like Pringle's, once you start, you start doing things, desperate dark things to continue the addiction :P

If he stays in the pocci then you should be fine :) one of my acro crabs had a black tip claws
