So far so good, algae has stopped growing more or less. Particularly the valonia now all it has to do is start disappearing, which should happen eventually.

In other tank news a potters angel was added recently and is doing great so far. I also started dosing K-Balance and Coral Snow along with the other zeo products I was previously using so we'll have to see how that turns out. My K level was down around 300 so it has to be dealt with.

Nice. I was thinking the potter's wasn't there last time I was over.

Did you manage to fit everyone from the reef crawl in your basement?

Yeah, everyone fit. My tank looked pretty small with everyone around it though.

Potter's are definitely one of my favourite pygmy angels. Very nice!

Default Update:

So the potters died on me. This was my second try with one and my last. Long story short I suspect the source for the first one was the reason for its death. (LFS that it came from has a terrible holding system IMO.) This time around the fish was fine up until one day it stopped swimming around and the next it died.

As a whole the tank is doing great. I had a little problem with my Ca reactor and my params dropped pretty low Alk was down to 5dKH and calcium was at 350ppm. This led me to find out that Salifert test kits may be giving false readings. In which I ordered new elos test kits to cross check with my salifert ones. Turned out the Alk and Mg kit are fine, but the Ca was out by 50ppm. I have been raising the levels back to normal the past week and everything should be back to normal next week.

As for using the Zeovit system, so far I am loving it. The tank is always crystal clear, polyp extension is A1. The fish are also happier because they have been eating very well since I have basically been feeding them double of what they are used to before starting zeo.
