I am seeing some real changes now... Algae on glass is dead and just hanging on, I am not touching it, as I don't want to pollute water anymore, letting the fish and cleaning crew clean things up. Some areas of rock that had fine algae do not anymore, the algae is dead and is brownish and just hanging on. Again letting the fish and cleaning crew clean things up.

The skimmers are going crazy, lots of skimmate and the days of green tinged skimmate is also gone. The color is brown to dark brown, again an indication of no live algae.

So, today I took one step further, since I am using a large Deltec Fluidizer with MJ 1200, I had room left inside. So I now am running approx. 1.5L of NP BioPellets along with my current 1.5L of Zeolites.

I still have new Zeolites in bags, so will keep running them, but once I have used them up, I am considering the next step to be removing the ZeoRX.


On a sad note: I have had a mandarin since pretty well the beginning of my tank setup, it has been about 5 days now and I have not seen him. So after about 1.5 years I think he fell victim to a crab, mantis or maybe is in my right side overflow (however I am unable to check it as it is against the wall). He was beautiful, rest in peace if you are gone.
