slightly off topic, but funny how they have the single cam "VL" RB engines making around the same power as the twin cam Nissan versions these days.

 

[jayellul]

they're all nissan motors mate...

I'm well aware of that - the irony is around the fact that the twin cam version doesn't seem to make much if any gain on the single cam.

For nitrate i WAS using red sea no3po4. 3 weeks ago i stopped rs no3po4 and changed to a kz zeovit product called zeostart3. My nitrate has stayed on 0.0 but all the corals look much better. spa and soft. Before i changed some soft corals were getting smaller. I even bought a fungi which pretty much died in 4 days but over the 4 weeks of using zeostart3 it has come back to life and is getting fat quick. Even my sps was starting to slow down in growth and getting thinner arms. The new branches on sps are now fuller more nobly and growing faster with better colour. I have also stated dosing coral vitililzer and zeoback for a wider spectrum of bacteria. In the next week i will hook up the zeolite reactor.

yup, consistency seems to be the key with zeo products

 

[jayellul]

How do you you mix the sponge power? I'm using broghtwells sponge excel which is pretty much the same. Have a spare channel or two on my doser I may well utilise! I'm running biopellets so not really sure why other supps would be beneficial...

I get the brown glass sterile bottles from the chemist, mix up RO water with whatever you require to make your dosage into 1ml ie there are 20 drops to a ml so in my 400 lt tank i want 1:4 so to make up 100mls i want 20mls sponge power to 80mls of RO to last me 100 doses.

If your tank was 100l you would do 5mls to 95mls.

I do the same with the elos trace elements and alike

 

[jayellul]

Ah i see. my tank is 120lt not including the sump which is probably around 30-40 liters.

So the sponge power doesnt separate from the RO water?

 

[NiCd]

No seems fine, I havnt been game to try it with zeo bac as it is meant to be a living product.

I have a business that I use who has In house micro biologists and I have been trying to get enough brownie points for them to analyse bac and see if they can tell what's in it and what I could safely water it down with

Majestic aquariums is now offering a selection of both liquid and powder supplements (alk, cal and mg). Anyone seen them? Had a look at them the other day and wondering if they're good.
