Any thought on the Neo Zeo and how the effected the coloration of your coral? I am thinking about going that route as well.

I have been running since November 08, and overall am quite satisfied with the system. I use vodka instead of biofuel, I like that it is more concentrated, seem stronger... I seized using aminos, mainly because I have 10 well fed fish, and they provide more than enough nutrients for coloration. I do use Pottasium, Koral Color, Lugols, Ferrion, Reef Snow, and Vit C. I use all the supplements very moderately, I feel it is important to study the tank daily to see the effects. The colors are nice, but looking better and better with each week that passes. Their are ups and downs, colors sometimes stray, so that is why I feel it is important to stay focused on this system, patience does not hurt either...lol

Beautiful corals. And a nice clean looking tank! Very very nice indeed.

Update.
I just picked up an I-Tech 100 Cone Skimmer, this thing is skimming like a beast. Good price too....
