Default who is dosing?

I was wondering who has been dosing with zeo? I was wondering if it has improved your corals health and colours? I'am relatively new to it so I was curious to see how many are dosing?

I am dosing various products. However my aquarium has been on the zeo system since the start so I can't tell if coral colours have improved or not. I don't dose a whole lot at all though. You can look at my dosing regime on the TOTM article.

I've noticed better polyp extension even during the day. I also run bio pellets.

Default dosing

I also was wondering when you changed from the starting dosage to normal dosing? Or is it tank based dosing?

It seems intimidating at the start but dose what your tank needs. Unless your running lots of sps i would not worry to much about it. I dose only like 2 drops of certain bottles every few days on 260 gallons and i find it helps. Keeping phosphates at 0 will do way more for your colours than zeo colour enhancing products ever will. I have noticed a big difference in bumping the w/c up to every week.

Tell us more about your tank. Corals, size, age, bioload and what your all dosing.

I'm using various products as well at the recommended amounts, but this is my 1st tank & it's just now seven months old. I have an RSM 250 with lots of extra flow, do weekly 10% changes, every thing is growing & colorful & looks good to me. I think they're good & helping, but I'm obsessive about the whole setup.
