30 second Ultralith challenge

[Sebae again]

Sorry, I have no photos. Ulralith is made of zeolite rock. Reefresh is a different system so it can have different effects. If you take a look at the OA tank, especially in person you can understand why people are in support of this system. Like many other things,it's important to follow directions and have a little patience. I myself noticed good results in 2weeks and exellent results within 4 weeks. This is in a 90 gallon with 10 fish in it so results could very depending on bioload.

I am not dosing at full recomended doses.. I dose 1.5cc of the min(s) and the Bak, and 1cc of ultraorganic... I have noticed substancially better coloration and PE and water quality is crystal clear... This is on ~210gal

Is the Ultralith system worth the money. Is it a good thing to use?

For my 90 gallon @ $30 a month it's worth it after spending several thou to set it up and stock it. It would be like buying a new car and not doing oil changes.

I'll pick up everything and try it on my 120gal reef starting late this month (after holidays). I'll make sure I take pictures and post them as well as keep track of dosing. Just don't laugh at my bioload. Yes I do need those triggers in my reef tank.

You got to try other stuff for the tank. Myself I am going to start to use the ultra lith system my self well I'm not going to invest as much into the ultra lith system as some do but get a few additives from the ultra lith system.

No thanks, trace elements like strontium,iodine,calcium, and magnesium and I should be fine.

To be honest you don't even need some of those. I had an amazing tank that was just a 75g, vho lights, no sump, a prism pro HOB skimmer, 3 maxijet 1200s, and a heater, the only additives I used (besides regular water changes) was kalk.
For you right now (especially with limited income) I would stongly suggest the k.i.s.s. method (keep it simple stupid) that i used for years. It gives you a chance to learn the hobby from the ground up so to speak, you can try all the fancy toys later when you have money to throw away
