Trying Polyp Lab's "System Reef-resh" this weekend.

Here are some pictures of a friends tank who is also experimenting with the system. Not to talk about other forums but this is Klay's tank from AP. It is a 180 Gallon.

Just thought I'd pipe in.....read the instructions closely on the RF Fuel. I had a brainfart when I was dosing this, and was dosing 5ml per 25 gallons instead of .05ml!!! No harm to my tank, but a damn expensive mistake. Best of luck with the system. I have only just started to use it two days ago.

Derek you showed some images of a friends tank, yes the tank does look great and bursting with color-then again most fully stocked LPS or SPS tanks usually do.

I, like Jamie and others in this thread would like to see not just the result of- but instead before and after results, and I'm not talking a year apart either as many variables come into play during that length of time. I have heard from a few people now that "oh my/there tank/corals look amazing in only a week/month of using this product line". There must be someone using these products locally by now who has images recorded of both before and during use of this product.

If someone is going to start using this product soon and doesn't have time/access to take some digital images, I would be more than happy to drop by and take some snaps of your system!

I also have a question for Poly Lab;

If a person was running a skimmer on there system that was just able to keep up with removing the nutrients out of there reef or running at 100% efficiency without them knowing so, wouldn't the results of using this product do more harm than good?

Finally by no means am I trying to bash or act negative toward this product, instead I am simply trying to understand it in every aspect.

Lets see pics pics pics In our hobby and this industry, two things talk. MONEY and PICTURES.

On the depressing part about money, I wish I could afford this product but with the water volume that I will have in the near future and with the products in its current size of bottles, it will only last me 2-3 weeks. Thats the crappy part about going big- everything just costs more!!

I believe your are asking:
"If your skimmer is already working at a maximum load, won't the product cause the skimmer to be over loaded?


No. Skimmer performance is based on contact time, bubble size and also the type of organic material you are trying to skim out. Bacteria cells have a very high affinity to the surface of a gas-liquid interface. So efficiency is improved when you are trying to skim out bacterial flock. You will notice that your skimmer is producing more skimmate when using this product.

I started this system on Saturday and I have already noticed that my skimmate is thicker.
