Keri 12-06-2008 12:48 PM

StirCrazy 12-06-2008 04:07 PM

realy can't see a differance becuase the befor pictures are to far out and of different things than the after.

Do you have any close up pics of specific corals "befor and after"?

What are you using for the background on that tank? I really like the way the light has played upon it in the first picture to create so many lines going in so many directions. Corals are growing out very nicely!

lobsterboy 01-07-2009 07:55 AM

Thanks, for the background, I am not using anything for a background, its just the plain ol white wall, the light does bounce off it and give a nice flicker, kinda 3-d like.

BC Mosaic 01-07-2009 04:35 PM

You've got no coraline growing on your glass. Is that because of ZeoVit or are you scraping you glass clean all the time?

Nice tank!

lobsterboy 01-07-2009 05:18 PM

i have noticed that, the amount of less purple coraline alg, has died or vanished from ,my system after going zeo. I know that some of the additvies, help to limit algae growth, so maybe coralline falls into this catagory. other than that, I try to keep the glass spotless.

thanks
