I'm really not that confidant in any of these type of additive systems anymore. They seem to all have big hype behind them with all kinds of glowing testimonials; then you start to hear about the dirty dark side to them. Tank crashes, bad reactions, etc.
I had a good start with the Reefresh system, then things satarted going bad. I've dropped the regimn, gone back to good old tried and true reefkeeping methods, and my tank and corals are much better for it. These systems seem to be like cocain for your tank. Its all amazing when you've got just the right high going, but miss a hit or have a bit of an OD and things get ugly quick. And the cost is on par with a drug habit too

Sorry to hear about your problems Christy. Just wondering how soon did you leave on your trip after changing you rock? Also did you dose any Bac before you left?
In the Zeo system too much flow has caused RTN and brown outs when first starting out. or after a rock change. Zeo recomments 300GPH once your Zeo system is established. I have found much better results at lower GPH around 200 to 250. this might help J

I changed out the rock on Monday/Tuesday (as I had finally picked up some Sunday night) and dosed the tank until we left Thursday am (no dosing Thursday). Perhaps that wasn't enough dosing? I guess I shouldn't have made any changes with the tank knowing that I would be away. Honestly I didn't think 4 days would be that big of a deal, in hindsight I suppose it was.
I also have the flow throttled back. I've read varying information on just what the flow should be and it beats the hell out of me. Flow going through the reactor is set at about 100gph. It never said anywhere to lessen the flow after changing out the rocks.

Things are starting to come back slowly. I think its just a matter of time and everything will be back to normal. I don't know about those caps though, especially the tan one, it looks pretty bleached. I guess time will tell.
Wendell, didn't get your email.

Ok guys, stick to the topic at hand. While it may be that "fauna marin sucks" (in my world anyways), lets not turn this into a ****ing match. Thanks

Whew that was messy!
This thread has returned to its previously informative state. Please keep any heated comments directed towards the fauna marin product/various other inanimate objects etc
