I do this too. I put new frags/corals in the sand near the glass so I can inspect them everyday for a week before I move them into their new spots. Can't be too careful.

Ya, I have seen a few Setosas in person, and they are gorgeous. I haven't seen that vibrant color or another corals before. I really should order one for myself. Maybe a Christmas present.

Oh, that fooser's frag isn't in your tank?! I thought you just got it from him. I wonder where he got it from?

That's ok though, I have a bunch of maintenance and hardware stuff I need to buy, so I need to take a break from buying livestock.

You have great colors. Are you on the full Zeo system? Which additives are you using?

yeah full zeo, but have been cutting back on the dose now for about a month, and still the colors have kept up and a few colonies have showed improvement.
i am using pretty much everything, depends the day or even the month.

the only thing i am not using is coral snow.

I'm receiving a bunch more Zeo products next month. After that there won't be much I'm missing. Except the zeolites, and all that come with that. The colors on my LPS are great, but my SPS are still lacking. I think once I get my sump (and thus skimmer) running it will help. I have added one product at a time, and watched for changes. There are a couple products that I don't think do much (not in my tank anyway), and a couple that are quite dramatic. Spur2 sure is dramatic. Do you use that one? How much/how often? I use 1.75 mL every 18 days or so.

Why not Coral Snow?

havent spured in a month, i really want to but i am holding off, as the colors are really coming out with that xtra bit of zo-algae in their tissue.

i was doing 2ml per 14 days. per 125

once you get the zeolites going, they will start to clear up your water of nutrients, and you will have more color in your SPS, when i first started my LPS didnt really like the zeo, i talked them about it and then they liked it, haha. only three LPS in my tank, 2 fungia and a acan from Scott.
