8.5 months on zeo

Hello everyone here are some updated pics

Looks fantastic! Keep the updates coming.

i picked up a few new fish yesterday, blue green chromis and a sohal tang.
the addition of the smaller chromis have encouraged the larger fish to swim in the open water column

Thanks Ottoman, i am using the nova extreme pro, 6- 39wt KZ new gens, and 6- 39wt KZ fiji purple. Changed out every 3 months.

What's your experience been like with the striped damsel? I've heard nothing but negative things about these fish but i *still* want a few in my tank. I imagine if they scrap it's a problem with smaller fish but tangs should have nohing to worry about right?

The way your corals are evenly growing up reminds me of that scene in star wars where the compacter is about to crush everyone. The fish will be in really shallow water soon at the rate you seem to be growing these sticks!

As Borat would say, "Veddy niiiice!"

if i had a choice to keep or remove him, i would remove him and have tired to get him out in the past, with no luck. so its up to you if u want to try one or a few. i think the more you have the more the battle would be on, IMHO.

and yeah, the sticks are growing alot. :mrgreen: i found that 15-16 inches from the light i get the best growth.

Your tank is looking awesome! :first: I just saw it not that long ago, and it is looking even better now which I didn't think was possible!

Looking great as usual John. How is your Sohal tang behaving? Any aggresion towards the others?

I have two colonies like this, they came from a tank using MH, they have been in my tank now for two months and have still kept the insane blue color. even after dosing spur.

Red Coral awesomeness

So I dropped by Red Coral today to pick up some ZeoBak which I needed for Saturday dosing, Kevin had this xpressed out from Vancouver which was very impressive for LFS to do. Great Job Kevin BIG THANKS.

zeovit carbon is also in stock now

http://i496.photobucket.com/albums/r...IMG_0669-1.jpg

I also decided to get out of the stoneage and picked up a refractometer from Kevin as well, as I was still using an Instant ocean swingarm hydrometer that I bought 3years ago. I just tested my salt levels and it was at 30ppt :redface: super happy that I got it, it could have been a diaster.

http://i496.photobucket.com/albums/r...0/IMG_0671.jpg

also, 2 pieces of liverock, to cover up a cord from a powerhead.
I never bought LR from Red Coral before, I gotta say I never seen liverock coming from a LFS with soooo many pods on it before the rocks were crawling them well as well as deep purple coralline. another great score.

and one last SPS, a nice redish orange digi

http://i496.photobucket.com/albums/r...0/IMG_0672.jpg

Needless to say Kevin and the staff at Red Coral have always been great to deal with and keep uping the anity for LFS's.

BTW, RC just got the new CORAL magazine for this month.
