Yeah you have to appreciate modernism and the Mies van der Rohe philosphy of 'Less is More' for my tank. Instead of a 70% Rock, 30% coral tank I want 70% coral and 30% rock, as while the rock is nice, it's not why I have a tank. Now I just need all those frags to actually grow!
- The tank is 40l x 15w x 22h. -> 57 gallon
- Skimmer is either a Tunze DOC 9005 or a Tunze DOC 9002 (I switch them around monthy to figure out which will pull the most wet skimmate daily, so far the 9002 is doing better, oddly enough).
- Flow is provided by 2 Tunze Stream 6000 (600-1800gph) on a Multi-Controller
- Lighting is 250W XM 10k & 2 96-W VHO's though this will be replaced by a Tek 6-39w T-5 HO Hood Today.
- Calc/Alk is added by a AquaMedic ReefDoser using C-Balance (soon to be Ocean's Blend as it has all the elements, not just calc/alk/mag)
- Top-Off is a Tuzne Osmolator
- ZEOvit
0.5L ZeoRocks in Canister Filter
2d ZeoBak & ZeoFood M&Th
0.15ml ZeoStart2 x 2 day
2d Amino Acids & 4d Poh's Coral Vitalizer everyday
The hardcore Zeo stuff is just starting next week (depening on how things react to new lighting, don't want to change to much over a short period, may wait till July) which includes
1ml ZeoSpur2 every 3 weeks
1ml B-Balance daily (new product, sortof a watered down ZeoSpur)
2d Potassium Iodide, 2d Iron Concentrate, 0.3ml K-Balance M&Th
Not sure how my tank will react to this, but it should be positive given other users results.
- Weekly 10% water change with 50/50 IO/Oceanic salt mix, and Passive Carbon Use.
I started this tank with Zeo in about Sept, and have never had measurable Nitrates or Phosphate (probably because I haven't bought a Hana Colormeter yet, it should be aroud 0.02 or so I'd guess). This tank just needs to grow, and should be up where it is and stable for probably at least a year or two, depending on when I find a good condo project to buy into in Fort Worth.
