APLATN13 Posted January 8, 2015 Author Share Posted January 8, 2015 What reactor did you find ? Avast Vibe 2L Link to comment
Begow Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Avast Vibe 2L I use the Pohl's CV on my tank, I'm not really sure how worth it is to do the FULL system on such a small tank. Maybe just the dropper system. This is on sale right now at BRS for pretty cheap. It's small bottles, so you can run it for a month or so, and see how you like the system. http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/korallen-zucht-nano-power-package.html Link to comment
APLATN13 Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 So today my friend called Michael at Aquarium Specialty and he said it is shipping out today with tracking number. So we are waiting on tracking number but nothing yet.... So basically almost 2 weeks and nothing...

We will see how this work out I am pretty excited to try out the Zeo Stuff. I am still debating to do the ZEOvit Rocks and to make it a full system. Anyone has experience in this and have some info please enlighten me! My 2 XR15w Pro came in yesterday Also got 25g worth of Saltwater So hopefully, I get my stand before Wednesday of next week so I can set it all up before I go to Denver for a Boarding Trip. -Anthony Link to comment
Steensj2004 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 You could probably get away with running some stones in a small IM Reactor? I donno, i would stick with just the additives. Link to comment
StrainedSky Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Can't wait to see this tank up a running, sucks Aquarium Specialty is taking their time with the stand. Link to comment

I donno, i would stick with just the additives. I definitely agree on just the additives. Unless you're going like PURE SPS, but otherwise just the drops! This guy doesn't use a Zeovit reactor, just the additives. He uses the full line, I have always loved this guy tank, BEAUTIFUL! http://www.reef2reef.com/forums/member-tanks/95851-island-reef.html Check out his colors and growth! Link to comment

APLATN13 Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 Well, still no trackong number as promised from Aquarium Specialty... I definitely agree on just the additives. Unless you're going like PURE SPS, but otherwise just the drops! This guy doesn't use a Zeovit reactor, just the additives. He uses the full line, I have always loved this guy tank, BEAUTIFUL! http://www.reef2reef.com/forums/member-tanks/95851-island-reef.html Check out his colors and growth! That is pretty epic! I might dosing only and not do the rocks. Seems like a headache to do rocks... I have mostly LPS ATM and only 1 SPS... Why I had a hard time weighting the options going full ZEOvit system. -Anthony Link to comment

I still am considering what I'm going to do. I was considering getting rid of the Scoly, my tank is so small and my clowns are constantly putting sand all over it which I've read is bad for their health. Still dunno though. Also, Aquarium Specialty was great with me. I'd call them! Link to comment

He said ok Link to comment

APLATN13 Posted January 10, 2015 Author Share Posted January 10, 2015 Hell yeah! Good stuff! So, I'm looking at some Dry Rock. Marco or BioTek? I really want to go Vida-Rock but peices they have right now is ehhhh... Link to comment
StrainedSky Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 So, I'm looking at some Dry Rock. Marco or BioTek? I really want to go Vida-Rock but peices they have right now is ehhhh...Some food for thought if you try going with Vida directly. I tried working with Vida, terrible company with lots of false dates and never deliver. Aquarium specialty dropped them for the same reason. Sad because they make a great product. Hell yeah! Good stuff! Your signature is going to give me a nightmare. Lol Link to comment

I am dealing with Merrit @ AQUA-TECTURE. They suppose to get a shipment ending of this month. Stuff he showing me is what he have instock. Stuff he has ATM is pico branches. I will upload some pics of what he has for my tank... Might just stick with Marco or Bio-Tek dry rock as there is a lot of pores for pods to hide. As I would like to get a pair Green/Blue Mandarin.

paradizecityz Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 I'm starting to think you're just making all of us anxious and excited for your tank to be setup LOL Link to comment

APLATN13 Posted January 10, 2015 Author Share Posted January 10, 2015 Unfortunately I've never had a Mandarin so I have no clue for that This is what Aqua-Tecture sent me... I am still debating that or these dry rock below http://www.marcorocks.com/dry-rock/25-pound-box-key-largo-rock/ or http://www.aquariumspecialty.com/biotek-marine-dry-reef-rock -Anthony Link to comment
paradizecityz Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Man, they all look nice. I'm liking the one from marcorock a little more though but thats my opinion. I'm also looking for live rock but just 1 piece...slowly trying to find the perfect one Link to comment

Buy rock that's super porous so you have a nice home for pods. I would do the aquascape to have a lot of hiding spots, but still be good for coral placement. Link to comment

Yeah, I just emailed Marco Rock to see what they can come up for me as for design. Think I will be placing order soon with them Now I have 130 credit with Aquarium Specialty and idk what to buy ... -Anthony Link to comment
