Also, looking at your signature, Wayne, I see that you're still running a BioPellet reactor? Is that true? Sorry, I'm way out of the loop, but are you dosing all that zeo stuff AND running biopellets or is your signature way out of date? :-) |
If there was an easier way to post pics on here you might have. Ever since Photobucket got greedy I've noticed fewer and fewer pics posted.

I've stopped running bio pellets for a couple mths now but I will dose vinegar two or three times per week. Nitrates has been .2 or lower and phosphates are between .01 and .02 for the last two years. I am still dosing a couple Zeo products but I have been slowly converting over to Aqua Forest. I'll post some coral pics later, Cheers! |

Looking nice! The corals have grown out nicely within.

That's interesting that you ditched the pellets. Curious as to why? Were they causing a problem ? I'm actually thinking about switching to a different carbon dosing method too. My pellet reactor is acting up. Mostly the pump as it's not fluidizing my pellets as well anymore. I'll probably switch to vinegar or vinegar-vodka. |

If you do change, why not just dose only vinegar and see how the tank reacts to it first before adding vodka? |
More pics as promised...
A few close ups... http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/p...psdndyg21g.jpg http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/p...psgf7svhl4.jpg http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/p...ps9up3kedg.jpg http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/p...psxpciadzd.jpg http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/p...psqqoeghst.jpg http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/p...psne5eetsk.jpg http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/p...psfxnuzpql.jpg http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/p...psght4n1oo.jpg http://i406.photobucket.com/albums/p...pssulsumxs.jpg |
Nice. Ya, my biopellets ended up in the same scenario where they took forever to deplete, which kind of makes sense if your tank has super low nitrates (and phosphates). I do still like the simplicity of just leaving the pellets in the reactor and forgetting about them for a year as they do their thing and tumble away :-) That said, mine are struggling to tumble due to a faulty pump so I either get a new pump for the reactor or use one of my spare dosing pumps to dose vinegar instead. I suppose I could just do vinegar without the vodka. I've never done either but I've read up on both.
Your tank looks like it has all of two fish in it? I see a cardinal and a tang. Is that all you have in there??? :-) |
Quote:
There are more fish in there... lots of leopards and a few fairy wrasses... they have all went to bed when I was taking the pics in the evening... |

At the end of the day I may just get a new pump. Would be a lot easier than working up to figuring out what my vinegar dosing rate would be. |
Your reef is looking SPECTACULAR! Very nicely done. :crazyeye:
