Here's a pic of mine. Its a dual reactor from next reef. So its pretty big. But I have a big system. But my nitrates were over 60ppm yes 60, after 1 month of running the reactor with adding 3 drops of zeobak and 1ml of vodka directly into reactor weekly my nitrates dropped to 2ppm. Now I do a...

Build yourself a nitrate reactor with a regular upflow media reactor. Get some sulfur pellets and some crushed coral that is used in a calcium reactors. Sulfur on the bottom abt 3" and the crushed coral on top 8" add bacteria to reactor and flow at a small trickle. You'll see nitrates reduce in...
I think it'll be a cool deal. I'm in this as a hobbyist not a retailer. Figured it would be a cool order and a way we can all get some nice stuff. For a nice price.

I use 2 in my sump. One from my DT that's 100micron and on after my reactors that I drip lanthium chloride into that is 5 microns. To remove the bonded phosphates from the water column. I change them out once a week and wash them in hot water with bleach and let air dry. Works great.

Or..... we can oder some high end colonies from Australia and then everyone gets a frag and we split the cost of the order.... this way everyone gets their own frag of 7-8 colonies. Deepwater colonies as well. Just an idea...

Also if you are using snow/bak Combo from zeo are you using it right? Take a small cup add tank water use the snow(double recommended dose) add 3-4 drops of the bak. Let sit 2 hours. Then add. Make sure your skimmer is running wet for abt 20-45 min after dosing tank. Also you can use zeozym and...
I had issues with that before, if your running LEDs and it has a red or green and you can lower the intensity, do it, second have you ever tested the water out of the RO/DI? Not for TDS but phosphates? Or silica? High levels of silica can give you ciano. Also if you are using zeo products like...
What is your magnesium level? A lot of people only measure calcium and alk not realizing that low magnesium will cause calcium not to be absorbed into the coral. Its like the binding agent in a simple way to put it. Like insulin for sugar absorption in a diabetic.

It was one of my weekly added additives. Not daily like the bottle says. I did abt 4 drops when I did amino acid drops. Had nice results and longer PE after I started.

The zeo system bare bones is ok... but the zeolites need to be shaken up daily. Also they can strip your system very fast to what's called an ultra low nutrient system. Which you will then need to start adding other elements of the zeo system. If not you'll loose all the color and your coral...
Hey guys now that I'm done with the NJDOC academy I finally have time for my tank again. It was destroyed by the hurricane and temps dropped to abt 50 degrees. I managed to save a few pieces and some of my prized fish(like my 2 yr old mated pair of snowcasso's from Doni.
The tank ran for abt...
Grey and white is ok. Black tip claws or fuzzy looking=bad!
I just finished the academy yesterday! So now I am not staying in sea girt base 5 days a week(yes all day and night) so now I can finally get back to what I love. And have been missing for a while.

When I get my colonies in I usually give them away to anyone who wants them. Bc when I dip the colonies before they went into my prop tank it would basically kill any occupants on the coral.

It will. I said I wasn't gonna get sps for a little while And as I was doing the scape I was like man this spot would be perfect for a nice branching colony this spot for a birdsnest, Bla Bla. It will be there before you put the fish in.

I lost all my coral all my colonies I was prepping to sell. Lost all but 5 fish. It was tough. Tanks hit 50 degrees. I had a generator but had to do the right thing. I hooked it up to mine and my downstairs neighbors furnace to keep the houses warm(they have 2 young kids) I was away for quite a...
