Field Trial of Ultralith System as of May 24/10
Firstly this was planned a month ago to try this product and is not a response to the recent Zeo/Ultra discussion on another thread. As some of you know I was Alcohol dosing my tank. Along with supplements from Salifert my SPS's responded very well. After some thinking I felt a more rounded and complete approach was needed. I did choose Ultra over Zeo simply because it was a newer product and "looked" simplier to use. Futhermore, I read most of the posts about Zeo and really did not come out with a clear idea that it worked. So I put some money up and bought the Ultra Starter package and an Ultra reactor. I have a fishless 100 gallon system(main and frag tank)( I am now rethinking this ) and my tank parameters are stable. I am going to follow Fauna Marin's guide to the letter. I will try to keep a log and pictures of any progress. This trial should last about 2 months but I have a feeling it will be more like a year. Please feel to ask or comment...you might have some good ideas too.

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.
