New update.


Ok so it has been a while. And before you give me the "THIS THREAD IS WORTHLESS WITHOUT PICS" line, I am at work so cant get the pics til this afternoon

I have a ton of SPS in the system now, and I did get my schuran reactor set up. Of course it was doing was too well and my alk went from 6.7 to 12 in less than a few days and fried a few of my week SPS. Luckily I am not keeping anything rare, but still hate to lose them.

But coraline algae has REALLY taken off and filling the bottom starboard as well as all the rocks. I mean I have rocks that were pretty much base rock that are covered with it now. So I know the reactor did its job. Still fine tuning it all, but overall I am happy with the direction of the tank. I took my UV sterilizer off line and will use it on my FISH holding/QT tanks that are separate from my main system. I think it will be more useful there than on my main system. I am also going to start using Zeovit just to see how it does, and I know to go slow so no need to preach me on it

I'll get some pics up later of the corals etc, and I am going to post on our sponsor thread some good deals we will be having.

Interested in what your doing. Are you using the whole Zeovit system or making your own way. Looks kinda expensive, but the tanks, if you like bold colors, look really nice. The corals look healthy with growth and great polyp extension, anyway, tagging along for the ride if you don't mind.

Sorry guys, I came down with the flu and been out of commission...I'll try and get some pics up later today or tomorrow.

Also, I apologize for any spelling errors on my post, I am not a retard, just a very busy guy with little time to proof read posts
