Hi Andrew,
The tank is looking great and all clear for take offfff

Your Zeo dosing schedule is very interesting.
Iv started dosing Pohl's Xtra 2ml daily since Jan 1, 2012 and started CV x 2 drops since yesterday. These are the only 2 Zeo products I'm using now, with Prodibio- digest and optim.
Needed a bit of advice:
Should I cut down on Pohl Xtra dosing after maybe 1 more week of daily dosing and go for 2ml weekly?
And CV daily 2 drops for a week then cut down dosing to 2 drops a week?
Will this be a good idea, since I'm not using any other Zeo products? Or should I go with the Zeo recommended daily dosing regimen?
I'm contemplating on adding B Balance in future.

Sorry for asking too many questions.

Hey Andrew!

What you mean "creating a piece of art"?
Gosh...this tank has already CREATED art...to me it's the definition of ART

And the reflection shot....Art in Reflection....Museum stuff right at home.
One thing I really like is also how ur payed tribute to the best wavemakers in business - the Vortech pane on one side and the Tunze pane on the other...pretty cool.

Awesomestest tank....ever

Thanks Noob... the reflection is pretty cool isn't it?! That's an advantage of having tiled flooring. The tunze and vortechs are great and do their jobs well.

Thanks for following along.

Thanks!! Not too many changes. I just follow dosing carefully and conduct water changes weekly. Keeping my hands out of the tank!!

There are no plans to add any more fish. Maybe some more coral but I am in no rush.

My x2 sea cumbers are finally working again after a month long sleep. They turn the substrate over nicely but seem to hang around the rocks and don't venture too far into the open. My snails are breeding like crazy and all come out at night time. There must be over 150!!

I will add some more substrate (zeovit aragonite) to the front area which is bare but will let it soak for a few weeks in RODI water first. Again... no rush!!

Otherwise not much else...

Thank you Acronic.

I dose the following daily, automatically done through the GHL controller.

Ca 40ml
Alk 70ml
Mg 0ml

Haven't tested these for nearly two weeks and suspect I may need to increase the ALK by 5ml and Ca by 10ml since the corals are growing more. Let you know the outcome next week.

The shot showing the reflection is over the top. I've learned a ton reading this thread, both about the functions and the aesthetics. I get to Hong Kong once every year or two, I might try to arrange a visit if you're up for it. Just getting ready to get my next tank up and running, and have one more to go after that. There are so many things you can learn online but that many more you only learn once you see something in person.

Lovely tank. I love the rock work. Makes the tank look spacious.

muz_z · 01/23/2012, 07:00 AM

This build and tank gave me the inspiration to have a similar looking master piece it's a great credit to you!

I have been having trouble keeping my gravel where it is suppose to be I was hoping to find out what settings you run in the profilux and what size gravel you are you using as I am running a profilux with 2x Tunze 6105's and a 6095

Thanks
Maury

Hi Maury and sorry for the delay. I use sand that is 3-4mm so it is fairly heavy. I have the Tunzes set from 50%-100% on random. Don't place them or point them too low to the gravel.

Thank you Walter!!

Update

There was a cold spell last week so I had to get the heaters out!!
x1 100W
x2 25W
The tank temperature is usually between 26.5 - 27.0C but when I got home it was 22.2C!! The heaters did the job in raising the temperature

Purchased this a few weeks ago so I would be able to see the corals at the back of the tank.
