That's ok though, I have a bunch of maintenance and hardware stuff I need to buy, so I need to take a break from buying livestock.

You have great colors. Are you on the full Zeo system? Which additives are you using?

yeah full zeo, but have been cutting back on the dose now for about a month, and still the colors have kept up and a few colonies have showed improvement.
i am using pretty much everything, depends the day or even the month.

the only thing i am not using is coral snow.

I'm receiving a bunch more Zeo products next month. After that there won't be much I'm missing. Except the zeolites, and all that come with that. The colors on my LPS are great, but my SPS are still lacking. I think once I get my sump (and thus skimmer) running it will help. I have added one product at a time, and watched for changes. There are a couple products that I don't think do much (not in my tank anyway), and a couple that are quite dramatic. Spur2 sure is dramatic. Do you use that one? How much/how often? I use 1.75 mL every 18 days or so.

Why not Coral Snow?

havent spured in a month, i really want to but i am holding off, as the colors are really coming out with that xtra bit of zo-algae in their tissue.

i was doing 2ml per 14 days. per 125

once you get the zeolites going, they will start to clear up your water of nutrients, and you will have more color in your SPS, when i first started my LPS didnt really like the zeo, i talked them about it and then they liked it, haha. only three LPS in my tank, 2 fungia and a acan from Scott.

I have a rack in my sump that could hold Zeolites, and I think I might try that out, but I don't have any intentions of getting the reactor.

My tank as it sits has about 70-75 gallons total volume after displacement, and the overflow box. So obviously you have lower nutrients than I do (big surprise) since you have to use less Spur2. I have noticed that dosing the Spur2 makes them drop a lot of color (all colors, the nice ones and the browns), but when they get the color back it has less and less brown, and more and more pretty colors than the last time. It also affects some corals more than others. I'm assuming it does that for you as well? Very interesting product. I wonder how it works...

Why don't you use Coral Snow? Does it have an adverse affect for you?
