It is ok to have your opinion, but I find people too closed minded, their way or the highway. Again this is just my opinion.

Canreef is like a tripped out hippie commune compared to places like Reef Central.

HEHE...

Jason, I don't really take offense... I just find that people are one minded... If you went to zeovit.com like you said, you would also see people are doing what I am doing (but you just want to prove your point and keep it to standards, these standards I do know also)... As I stated, what I am doing is working for me, and it isn't a permament thing. I know what zeovit is and what each dose does, I am not STUPID (Zeovit is expensive and I don't want to waste money, with a 300gallon total system it gets expensive), but when you are given a situation you need to look at it and decide how to approach things.

I find with this forum, if it isn't in the book, sorry can't be done. Like I said, sometimes you have to think outside the box.

I think we should end this... no reason to discuss further... I wish everyone the best and again let's have fun!!!

There is occassional cause to supplement the use of Zeovit with sterilization methods such as UV or Ozone, one of them being in the advent of a bacterial bloom from overdose of Start2...

By far and large though, it's completely unnecessary once you hit phase 2/3.

Yes, rather than a university staff room (with it's plethora of 'professors' and 'experts').

I'm going to side with those that feel that the bacteria don't proliferate in the water column. If your tank is overstocked or has a high bioload, UV is probably best for the health of your fish... otherwise shouldn't really be needed. And UV makes your water nice and clear (when used with a skimmer).
