Hello Again...

 

Livestock- Ok so I decided I didn't want to give anything away. So, I will just tell you that LPS will be my main focus

I will have a Zoanithid garden

I will have a Florida Ricordea Garden

Some SPS mixed in, but then may start to heavily stock SPS if I have good results with keeping it!

 

For fish I will be keeping

• ORA designer clown - Either Picasso, snowflake or Platinum

Remember to be on the look out for a real update!

 

Following along...

[BRADYBUNCH7]

Woot Woot! I wont let you down

 

Following along...

Heah Guys Just Bought a "hanging Bracket" or something of the sort , for my new Radion Gen 2! It's made from metal! Yet just a tiny bit of an overkill lol! But ill have it looking pretty clean after I spray paint!

[BRADYBUNCH7]

Heah Guys just a little worried about using the Aquaticlife Nano Skimmer...

Ik Skimmers work along with Zeovit Reactors and additives!

So if I am attempting to keep a ULNS (Ultra Low Nutrient system)

Would having a cheap skimmer effect the efficiency of my Zeovit Reactor and Additives!

Or would a refugium sort of help with the skimmer!

This is probably very hard to understand!

I'm most likely going to be deleting this...

[Javious]

I know nothing about the Zeovit, but I do know about the skimmer. In general it works okay but tends to skim wet. In my BioCube I can only adjust the height a small amount because of the trim on the tank, perhaps if I could raise it more I could get a drier skim. How mych space do you have for a skimmer? There are others that are just a bit larger.

[BRADYBUNCH7]

Hmmm.... Its the only one that is ok being submurged in 6.5 water...


WET skimming paired with Zeovit additives is said to be bad!

The Cadlights PLS-50 will work in 6.5" of water. From their website:

 

Can work both mounted on the rear wall of your aquarium into the filter chambers, or you can remove the tank mount and have it sitting inside the chamber for a more Hidden look (make sure water level in the chamber is within the operating height of 4"-7". Innovative CAD Lights Pipeless design allows you to control the PLS-50 skimmer from the top!

I should be receiving this skimmer this week.

Just 2 Q's...

 

• How did YOU cycle your tank and with what?
• How did you seed your dry rock and with what?

[NanoTopia]

Hi Brady,

 

If you are going full ZEOvit method I recommend you follow this for cycling http://www.korallen-zucht.de/en/service/initial-cycle-just-14-days/index.html Your rock will be seeded as well during this process. Keep in mind it will take longer to cycle a tank using only dry rock. I recommend some live rock mixed in.

[BRADYBUNCH7]

Wow thanks a lot!

That is a very great thread I will for sure study this!

[BRADYBUNCH7]

Wait so I should get some cured live rock along with macro rocks?

But don't seed it!

Just Clean the Dry rock with (vinegar solution or acid bath)

Where does testing come into this?

THANKS
