What keeps me going.

I just need to do somthing. Im so sick of my red slime and bubble algae. I do stay on top of my ALK,CAL,MAG I like to say my husbandry is good.

I fought the slime with boyds chemi clean. Worked very well. All gone 2 days no corals affected.

I have usedthis befor and now its back :/

Dan you do have a pack of charcoal don't you? That seemed to kick my slime. I want to say Garrett or someone on this site found the same result when charcoal was added. I will look up in my Julian Sprung book when I get home. I am on vacation for now.

Thanks have fun on your Vacation next time take me

You got me thinking about what keeps me going. First off, I really don't have a comment about the zeo since I've not used it and most I know of it was from Vishnu's talk waaayyy back. I know frags I've gotten from Andre don't look the same in my tank but have always figured it's from different lights and different water chemistry too. However, I've been happy with anything I've gotten from him before and after he started doing zeo.

Now for what keeps me going. This changes from time to time. If I'm just watching my tank, I'm pretty content and enjoy it especially after some of our recent changes (changing to ATI bulbs and redoing the aquascape). If I see tanks like Andre's, Jim's, Tiffany's and many others then I realize that I could do so much more with mine. I feel really hindered by amount of cash I can spend without feeling my hobby is cheating my family. So, I try to do the best I can with what I have available for now. I keep changing what I want to keep. I was happy with softies for quite a while. Then I got a few pieces of LPS and the bug bit me hard. Then I got some SPS and while it doesn't appeal to me quite as much as the LPS (YET), I do really like the variety of color and texture in the tank. Each time I make these kinds of changes, my tank needs change and I'm off on a mission.

Great discussion.

I did fine this today. Not dure if its a good deal or not.

Are the ZEO Reactors made to be insump?

good question and i guess i am not for sure, but i feel all the ones i have seen seem to be in sump. I am going to use the bigger vertex.

Let me know what you think of it. In the next 2-4 weeks i may start ZEVO.

will do but not starting zeo for 2 months. Pulled all acros out of tank and treating with tmpcc before i start the zeo. I want to make sure no bugs when i start an all sps reef.
