Default Update:

So the potters died on me. This was my second try with one and my last. Long story short I suspect the source for the first one was the reason for its death. (LFS that it came from has a terrible holding system IMO.) This time around the fish was fine up until one day it stopped swimming around and the next it died.

As a whole the tank is doing great. I had a little problem with my Ca reactor and my params dropped pretty low Alk was down to 5dKH and calcium was at 350ppm. This led me to find out that Salifert test kits may be giving false readings. In which I ordered new elos test kits to cross check with my salifert ones. Turned out the Alk and Mg kit are fine, but the Ca was out by 50ppm. I have been raising the levels back to normal the past week and everything should be back to normal next week.

As for using the Zeovit system, so far I am loving it. The tank is always crystal clear, polyp extension is A1. The fish are also happier because they have been eating very well since I have basically been feeding them double of what they are used to before starting zeo.
