LOL - In my defence

This has been on my forum for months

And I pm'd you an exact dosing schedule

I do agree however ProdiBio should put it on the marketing and not rely on me to inform. I will bring this up with them

Yes you did, you sent me two sets of instructions,....One for an established system and one for a new system...My mistake, I read them as not to start the reef booster in an established system for 6 week...This system is a 99gal+45gal sump - displacement, 100lbs of new rock, 100lbs of new sand and 50+ pounds of coraline encrusted LR from another one of my systems...


Skimmer is foaming again this morning but she's still al little cloudy

Define "field testing"...
Did I retail purchase a new skimmer that didn't work? yes.
Did the Wholesaler assist me in getting the faulty parts replaced once they were available? yes.
Was there offer of compensation made? yes...

...but that's another story which hasn't drawn to a conclution yet

If still cloudy then for sure the system was too young for it, give it 24 hours and the water will be sparkling. No damage has been done, no ill effects only corals with full bellies

I was asking Michael if he was still field trialing the skimz

I do have a well established ULNS....clouding ends in 4 hrs

Oh - me sorry, was not sure if that question was directed at me.

Nope no more field trials required, the range is in full production and the first shipment arrives to me on Tuesday.

Brain had the first batch when we were not aware that the needle wheel was too powerful for 110V pumps, so the needle wheel was changed and Brian was supplied the production final version which I am sure he will testify is rocking his system as is mine, I have the same skimmer on my tank.

More pictures...the more subtle colors keep coming. The other thing of note is the new growth on the SPS. The only change is new t5 bulbs went on the frag tank. ( All are URI : 4 Actinic White, 2 Indigo Suns, 2 Red Suns) This combination yields more of a afternoon daylight. The previous combination was more blue shifted( 4 actinic and 4 75.25)

Corals look good. $30 a month for a 100gal system sounds very reasonable. I was considering going the Zeovit way but this appears to be easier and more cost efficient to use. So the start-up cost for someone looking to try this stuff out would be???
