I figured it would but not this fast. WOW. A whole sand bed of cyano almost gone in two days. Plus coral PE seemed better right after dosing coral snow.

I'm on my fourth day of dosing the coral snow with zeobak and its helping a lot as well

What are you doing with the ZEObak? Just dosing more?

I never bothered to increase the dosage or anything myself. Just dosed the coral snow.

...To make matters worse, the Hydra's very breath was lethal. Even smelling its footprints was enough to kill an ordinary mortal. Fortunately, Heracles was no ordinary mortal. He sought out the monster in its lair and brought it out into the open with flaming arrows. But now the fight went in the Hydra's favor.It twined its many heads around the hero and tried to trip him up. It called on an ally, a huge crab that also lived in the swamp. The crab bit Heracles in the heel and further impeded his attack. Heracles was on the verge of failure when he remembered his nephew, Iolaus, the son of his twin brother Iphicles......


































Just wanted to add some more myths to the thread

I've been dosing 4 drops daily in about 3-4ml of coral snow.

Prior to this I dosed the zeobak separately, 4 drops 3x weekly and the coral snow about 2-3x a week at about 2-3ml.

I've dosed coral snow even before I started the zeovit regime as that and the coral vitalizer were what got me to switch from ultralith.

Oh OK, I see. I was told here to increase the Bak while using the Coral snow to deal with the cyano but on the ZEO forum, one of the experts there advised me that was really not necessary. I guess he said it wouldn't hurt anything but he wouldn't do it. I was told to just keep doing what I am doing but dose the coral snow.

For me this is working, so I am going to keep up this way until all the cyano is gone and then use coral snow twice a week.

So I finished the framing and priming of the stand today. One thing I am still not sure of is whether to use foam or just plywood under the tank.

I have 1/2" to work with. The "skin" plywood for the sides and doors has to cover whatever I use underneath the tank and I figured 1/2" space should be fine. I can add another 1/2" if needed but I prefer not to.

If I do use foam, what is the best to use? In the past I have used that thick pink foam but I really don't think that stuff is necessary. I would prefer something much thinner.

I am leaning towards just using a sheet of plywood under the tank I think though. We'll see.
