[weileong]

Tonight, dose two new zeovit products so posting the before results first.

All photos are before dosing the two products this evening.

All photos comes straight from the camera, only crop, resized and levels adjustments as some images are too dim.

A.Sarmentosa

[andysho]

Ok tks .....

where you place it . mid or top ?

[Reefaholic]

Wow, now can see the result after how many days?

Must be impressive..

[weileong]

Stanley, I dunno, because just started to dose this evening. The C-V no effects at all most probably due to my acros still need to train to start feedings.

Andy, I placed it abt 1ft from water surface. My MH are 1.5ft above water surface.

[andysho]

it look yellowish in my tank under BLV 10 k bulb

Guess if under 20 k .. it will look greenish

Still wondering wat teh colour of the tip of the acro will

turn out to be

[weileong]

I'll say orange tips if you dose AAHC.

mine is under BLV10kk.

Once you notice 1 acro start capturing food using its tentacles, it will always react this way when you dose it. So there will be many months before all acros started to train using tentacles to capture food. That is my guess.

The reaction will be the same for feeding cyclopees, oyster eggs and C.V. But results wise, i do not know.

[weileong]

I read that you need about 1 week to get them to start feeding. That is why they recommend heavier dose for the first week if you had not been feeding your acros before.

However your acros all already trained so you should see more reaction.

[andysho]

Wat are the 2 new products for zeovit now?

[weileong]

If you check at K-Z website you can see already.

It's C-V and another product.

Since we need about a week to get the acros into feeding mood, will that cause nuisance algae growth ?

[weileong]

In system running zeovit, the excess P and N are handled by the zeovit system. Better dose with caution. Go slow

Wei, your coral coloration is very nice indeed Try 3 drops/25g/day for a wk. or 2, then report your impressions.

Coral-Vitalizer is not a nutrient food & there are not any adverse effects in excess. It contains particles within the liquid, both are made from elements in proportation to the coral's composition. C-V will improve coloration, growth[amazingly] & health, especially critical in nutrient-poor waters[as Wei's] which is a pre-requisite for 100% SPS coloration. C-V can be helpful in non-ZEOvit systems as well It requires refrigeration.

K-Balance is the newest product in the Korallen-Zucht line. It supplies K+ element in those tanks where SPS color fading or lightening occurs. This condition occurs in some reefs from K+ deficiency in some saltmixes, overskimming, & overutilization from extreme bioload. For example, lose of pinks in Stylo's, Pocci's & Seratioporas, color in Monti's or blues in Acro's is a sign of K+ deficit if one's parameters are inline & stable. Unfortunately, there is not tests for K+ at the hobbyist level. The endpoint in dosing is return of pink & blue coloration in the corals. In excess, algae blooms & coral tissue-tip recession can occur. The recommended dosage is 1ml/25g/day until coloration improves, then dose only if color again begins to fade. HTH, Bob

Bob, thanks for the explanation, inital observation is that blue tips seems more obvious but let's wait up to a week for comparison photos

bro weilong, how far your this acro from water surface ? do he need strong flow or not ?

[weileong]

approximately 8" from water surface, this one seems easy to me.

All acros need strong diffused & randon flow but the wrong "strong" is quote relative so provide as much diffused flow as possible.

Walth Smith A. Clathrata.

Start doing C-V + K-balance on 25th Oct 2005, before and after photo.

Zeospur2 dosed on 4th Nov 2005.

C-V don't seems to have much effect on this acro whereas K-balance gives the bright pastel pink coloration on shipment day.

The right side is a little shaded and the coloration is darker.

Weileong, u said of this K-balance product. May i know is it from zeovit line of products?

I tink Tropic Marin also have...

This K-balance is basically potassium.

No local zeovit dealer bringing in at the moment so you have to order it directly from Germany unless you can convince PR or OP to bring them it.

1000ml cost about EUR50 excluding shipping.

Excellent sequence of the Clathrata, Wei I believe the K-Balance allows the coral's active transport system to absorb PIF/other elements more efficiently, Bob
