Is that rusty or smudge of organic, if it's a rust, doesn't seems like it negatively impact your tank.

How much postage do you pay for stuffs shipped directly to Taiwan from BRS and how long do you have to wait?

It is rusty ;-(, but you are right, no noticeable problem so far. I usually PO from a Germany site below, which save 19% sale tax, but pay reasonable postage based on weight. Here is the site https://www.sewatec.de

Here is my first video took after trimming down my staghorn to 1/3 of size and fixing the pump issue. Hope you enjoy it.

Shih, your reef is an inspiration to me!

Do you still use zeovit and aquaforest together?

After the problem with the algae, did you change a routine in your dosages?

Recently, I had a problem similar to yours with algae and since then I am not dosing the zeovit and aquaforest products.

Thank You!

Yes, I still use KZ for bacteria since I don't want to dramatic change system bacteria. My next tank may go full AF, thought.

I don't think my algae problem early is due to any kind of product, but "change".
My recent algae problem was introduced after I adding Polylab Polypbooster. However, I believe it was due to I add full volume recommended in once. After my algae problem resulted, I start adding Polypbooster again with 1/5 recommended volume and now even I back to full volume recommended and no problem at all.
BTW, I use AF ABEV regularly but twice to 3rd times of recommendation.

I agree the blue tip green base is beautiful. Nasuta maybe? Looks similar to The colony therman has at the bottom of his cube.

Just saw your latest video which was incredible as usual. What does Aquaforest ABEV stand for?

Shih wanted to ask another question, please. My system is also a mixer of Aquaforest and Zeovit "Zeoforest or Aquavit". Did you suspend the use of zeovit products (Xtra, Booster, Vitaliser, AAHC ...) by the aquaforest ABEV, or did you do any division during the week using both products? Thank you!

Hi Shih,
What Carbon source are you using?

Haha. Piper27 is correct and thanks. Aquaforest usually call them AF ABVE, but I can only remember by alphabetical order as ABEV.

I do use Zeovit cure solution and color enhancement solution from time to time, especial Flatworm Stop. But after I ran some IQC test to find out what is inside Zeovit bottle, I start less and less using Zeovit bottles, but directly the elements inside these bottles.

I use Zeovit Start3 and dilute with Distilled water to 25%, and then dose by GHL 2.1 doser twice a day. Hope this help.

What products do you have ICP tested. Did you have post the results of the tests?

How much are you dosing?

Sorry for all those questions......
