  1. huh??? u mean u do it during office hrs?
  2. From what i hv read, more than half of the GAC for aquarium use in the market either contain phospate or will leech phosphate. That's why it is always recommended to rinse the GAC in freshwater or RO/DI water b4 use. webbies to stake my claim. An Overview of Activated Carbon in the Marine Tank By James R. Layton unedited article in Aquarium USA 1994 Abstract from Seachem MatrixCarbon: A truly unique activated carbon, bead shaped for optimal hydrodynamics. This provides maximum water flow and contact with a high density of adsorptive sites without the compacting common to granular activated carbon. MatrixCarbon has a very low ash content as indicated by its minimal impact on pH. Even when added to distilled water, it does not raise pH above 7.0. While all carbons contain phosphate, regardless of false claims to the contrary, MatrixCarbon has the lowest leachable phosphate content of all major carbon brands tested. It out-performs other best grade carbons by at least two-fold when compared for total capacity to remove aquarium organic matter, rate of adsorbtion, and duration of use. 250 mL will easily treat 100 gallons for several months. It is very clean and nearly dust free. The 100 mL bag size will fit any filter on the market and treats over 40 gallons. Marine or freshwater use.
  3. how abt the subsequent sps corals that u r going to put into ur tank after ur system has been running zeovit for quite sometime? acclimatize them as per normal?
  4. dun mind, juz helping flamey out. Canon IXUS 400 Specifications
  5. reef tank has been running roughly abt 6 mths. zeovit for abt 1 to 2 mths.
  6. whether zeovit or no zeovit, i oso use GAC for our reef tank.
  7. sorry bro, but this time round, i gotta disagree. my sps do color up by using 2x150W and 4xT5s. but my tank only 1 ft depth left after deducting sandbed la and i place most of my sps on the top. nevertheless, i think 2x250W will do even better in coloring up sps. of coz other parameters need to be taken into consideration too.
  8. no, i dun mean zeofood. saw on the zeovit webbie that there is a supplement product: "amino acid concentrate".
  9. kschew1498: amino acid supposingly aids growth and vitality of sps. alanseah: amino acid high concentrate by zeovit. a worthy consideration?
  10. looks like u hv a couple of rock anemones there.
  11. me oso dunno, can only judge from the pics he send me. but was told that the rics r doing fine.
  12. if i m not wrong, he shld be using 2x 250W MH 14kk. as for T5s supplement, i m not too sure.
  13. now for my corals in his tank. some of my remaining rics.
  14. Juz some tank pics on one of my nannies who is a non SRC member. some of my remaining corals from my crashed tank r wif him. hope he doesn't mind me posting his pics.
