October 9/10
I started up the Ultra progam today. I followed the startup instructions. Since I already had a low nutrient tank I cut back Ultra Min and Ultra Bak to 1 ml dose. I did not stop my skimmer - after 1 hour of adding I noticed polyp extension on my Candy Canes and the other LPS's - 24 hrs of running and my tank(s) water looks crystal clear...clearer than with ozone running Last edited by fencer; 10-11-2008 at 04:12 AM.

Can't wait to see what the final results show, i've been thinking about starting up one of the systems in the next little while, so this should help with my final choice.

Here are pictures of the Tank as of Oct 13:
http://s496.photobucket.com/albums/r...view=slideshow Notes: 1)My tank redox level has dropped from 380mV to 335mv 2)Growth on Glass of main tank has slowed down 3) Spot fed LPS with mysis and coral frenzy today 4) I continue with the 1 ml dosage of Bak and Ultramin -ultramin and bak are injected into the main tank and the Bacterial soln is fed into the sump 5) Have been agitating reactor once a day for 1 minute 6) There is an echino coral that goes bright green when Ultramin is injected in the tank Last edited by fencer; 10-20-2008 at 04:29 AM.

I have not seen any ill effects of the Ultra additives on the corals. I am still spot feeding my LPS corals. I have notice that there is considerably more polyp extension on the SPS's. The colors on there corals are just starting to show(more). Most corals are exhibiting various rates of growth. As for the control coral it is showing polyp extension only. I have not seen an increase rate of algae on glass or anywhere in the tank. I have decided to bacterial solution directly to the tank. Last edited by fencer; 10-20-2008 at 04:46 AM.

Added another control coral today. (The other catspaw was exposed to alcohol dosing) A light pink Catspaws. I am expecting the colors on this one to increase. As it was claimed(I am not sure where I read it) that color intensity is most notable in this type of coral when using Ultralith. Photoadded to archive
