Sweet set up. How long have you been using Zeo?

Been on Zeo for about 6 months, the system has definitely produced good results for me.

Continuing....

The equipment was eventually moved into the room behind and a new tank was made for the bottom.

here's the blue ribbon eel I spoke of earlier

Also had a frogfish for a while, but I couldn't supply the fish with a a proper diet (I guess).

Well that's really all the process pictures I can show you folks, sorry I've only recently started talking more photo's (new camera, nikon D70

).

I can however show you more recent pictures

Here's a good test I did for Zeovit, bought this plate coral:

It was browned out but I noticed some pink deep within and I also noticed a huge improvement from other plate corals from the Zeovit. So I thought I would do a little test.
The result can be seen below, the brown plate coral turned into the white and pink one.

Oh and here's some more pics, enjoy!

Great pictures. I have the same camera, but would you mind telling me what lens you use? I have a macro lens from my old Nikon 35mm, an F90 but with the 35mm film to 25mm image capture chip, it's more like a .. what is it, F120 or something. If you want a picture of a single fish scale, this would make a great lens, but to fit the whole fish in the frame I end up having to move back 3 feet and well .. at that point I guess I don't need a macro lens anymore. So I need to save up some dinero for a new lens .. any suggestions?

The lens I use is a AF-S Nikkor 18-70mm. It's a good all around lens for just about everything. It's not good for macro but sometimes I use single macro lenses that just screw onto the lens like a filter. This allows me to focus on closer objects. I also use a polarizing or ND4 filter from time to time.

Wow, great shots. What an improvement in the plates. Looks like your clams are pretty happy also. When I switch over to zoevit that was one of my concerns, my clams and zoo's/paly's would suffer.

I thought the same, but basically everything has improved. Some of my LPS are not supper happy but that's from the lack of food I feed my corals. You can also get a few additives from Zeovit that improve LPS health.
