I've not tried zeovit before... Do u mean it caused some damage to the sps? The pink birdnest and green stag are very nice specimens.. pity they didn't make it.

Do share ur experience on zeovit, as I understand, it's not a simple system (I could be wrong) and not cheap too.

I'm still trying out dosing pump. So far it's been quite stable. Only trouble is that daily parameter checks are required for the first week and subsequently, must do weekly checks.

Hope it helps in your journey to the dark side.

Your mind is like a parachute. It only works when it is open.

Just to add on zeovit system, its a form of controlled bleaching of your sps. It removes all zooxanthella from your sps therefore to keep your sps alive you'll need to feed them very often.

Just to share

i heard many negative comments on tis product.

tank clash, reduce the tissue to very thin layer

removing of zooxanthella from sps sounds .....

I rather maintain its zooxanthella to keep its natural

colours then :)

I tried zeovit before~ i think the SPs colours rather look

artifical~

I rather use the natural way to keep corals~

Cheaper and and hassle free :P

Look simple and neat, but i feel if there is more difference in the height of the rock scape will look much better. Cheer. ;)

Hi Joe_p tank is very nice and simple. I think if u going his direction then u sure have some space on the left and right of the tank. From your rescape picture, it seem like the left and right rock r very close to the side wall, and u should try to create some valley or make it into 2 mountain instead of using coral to try to link up the 2 mountain. Hee just some suggestion. :P

If you don't mind me asking bro, is there any reason why you're not putting the chiller coil in the return pump compartment?

I will in the future as the coil have a lot of bends if rebend might break
