Can you give some detail about your tank? ligthing? is it a low nutriment system like zeovit?

I am asking because I see your pink birdsnest is at the bottom of your tank and seem to be thriving. how tall is the aquarium?

Again very nice aquarium!

thanks

It's a very LNS, i get readings of 0 for PO4 on a hanna, & zero for NO3 on elos. But is some in there cause of that leafy algae crap on the back wall. I thikn it comes from the SB or the rock?? It's a red sea max 250 running stock skimmer, two mp 10wes, 2 koralia 750, with a tek 6 bulb & arcylic shroud with a mirror finish on the inside of the shroud. No mechanical filtration is used what so ever. I dose several zeo products on a schedule, & dose vodka, but run no zeolites, there are no reactors or any external stuff on this system. I run 2 bags of chemi pure elite, 1 bag of purigen, & about 1/3 cup of rowa phos. It has a profilux for 2 part, MG is dosed manually, & tunze ATO.... lighting is 2 on for 11.5 hours FP in front SB in back the center 4 are SB SB NG FP on for 9 hours... & I think that's it

Thanks a lot!

Do you think that chemi pure and purigen are making a big difference?

What zeo products are you dosing if you don't mind me asking?

I posted it awhile ago on the zeo site, i have the same name over there. I've been pretty fortunate in that colors have always been quite good, I use the zeo to try & tweak them. I can say that I'm happy with them except I wish my purples were darker/deeper.

Not really growth, but tried doing a couple top down shots before a WC today.

Looking great.......I'm sure the new tank will be spectacular.

Just a small FYI though...a skimmer is considered mechanical filtration.
