hey keith i've learned that we should not be adding that stuff until about 4 - 6 weeks after using zeolite, zeostart, zeofood7, and zeobac. they say it may be ok to use the CV and SP but the others we should wait to add after the corals have started to lighten up.

well the second day after the initial dose there is a couple sps that are really po'd. the stripped out in the middle of the colony and the other at the tip. i have stopped dosing everything i had initially and i am going to go with the basics to start. i guess i had not enough info yet to get started, but live and learn. i still need to upload some pics to keep updated on here but as of now nothing is good, doesnt help my bloody skimmer is not running because of the recirc pump

i was to a point, but i have now stopped dosing and i am waiting for the zeobak, zeostart to come in so i can start fresh and from the beginning. i jumped the gun for sure. i was under the impression that i could use these other additives during the start stage as well but i dont think that was right.

I have only dosed for the one night. I was under the impression that you could dose the additives I listed with or with out the reactor and Zeo back etc. I had great colour and polyp extension before the dose. I had payed special attention to a powder blue stag that was starting to encrust at the base. I wanted to see what would happen. Know what happened? RTN! Deep breath! I will take a step back and look at this again. All other corals seemed ok this morning before I left for work. Fingers crossed.
