150gal ZEO que dramatic music

[lobsterboy]

Hey everyone, wow, time flies by quickly eh.

How is everyone doing? I am sure everyone is busy with the summer and now the end of summer.

Work has kept me busy these past few weeks, working on some new recipes, which include, edible candy wrappers, one bite egg's benedict, powdered bacon, liquid olives, and the list goes on.

so not to bore you with that, the new system is talking off, I have finally seen some growth on most of all the corals now, and 99.9% of them have colored up, to what they used to be and a few are even better in color.

I did remove a few pieces of liverock from the right hand side of the tank, as that big stylo was bugging me, it looked stuck out from the base.
as well, if i didnt mention it before, I turned up the flow rate on the zeo RX, I have never done this in the past, but always wanted to try it, and so while some colors are slamming, others are a bit washed, so Its back to the drawing board for doising schedules.


No new fish have been added, i am waiting for a shipment of Hawaiin yellow tangs to make the tank. except for some nass snails which I picked up from Red Coral a few weeks ago, thanks Kevin and Doug for those, they are really doing a great job. The sand is more clean and turned. so its finally started to look like a reef, he is a recent photo. liek I said Pinks and purples are slamming, and I just started up dosing Iron, to try and kick up the green hues on my scroll and table.

yeah, these colors are not that normal compared to my last system.
the pinks and purples are almost neon, while the greens and blues are lacking abit FE, and K+
I got one more week of testing to do, and that should round things off.

I am using alot less elements this time round.

[lobsterboy]

Yeah Brett, bacon olive frags, its worth a try.

maybe i can mix the powdered bacon with some glue and have a bacon flavour frag plug. The coral would be be getting all hungry. dreaming of some eggs or olives to go with that pimpin frag plug. haha.
