hi bro...

did u dose any extra stuff to get ur zoas to multiply so quickly?

food: phytoplankton, zooplankton mainly.

add trace elements, iodine, strontium and molybenum regularly.

That's about it.

I think some zoas are quick multipliers while others are very slow.

My Armour of God has only 1 small baby polyp after 2 months. So happy to see it.

Will take pic when free.

Most of the other zoas are fuller and has grown about 10% at least.

Space really tight now. Thinking of ways to manage real estate.

Once I have frag the zoas ; especially the bigger pieces, I should have some space for small frags.

Also toying with the idea of selling the cloves off so that I can build another rockwork extension on the left side.

Thinking.... thinking. .......

not bad the rics.. mine seems to be losing a little colour.. lol.. will continue to monitor..

mine faded the 1st 2 days too. Today seemed much better.

I dosed Kent Marine Chromaplex, iodine, Trace Elements twice recently and target fed them with mysis yesterday.

Also dosed phytoplankton and zooplankton and Seachem Reefplus.

does a little of everything (within reccommended amount).

Really hoping they colour up more....

I have got a box of prodibio clean and reef booster.

Anyone has any advice/ feedback on the usage of these?

You want feedback on Reef Booster and Bio Clean? Ok, I give u feedback on usage of these two and AZ NO3... :eyebrow:

IMG_0542.jpg

You see the pic above? This is what happened after I dosed Reef Booster and Bio Clean a couple of days ago and every morning, when I dose AZ NO3, my whole tank turns this cloudy. Before I dosed Reef Booster and Bio Clean, my tank only had slight cloudiness whenever I dosed AZ NO3 but this is SUPER cloudy now... :whistle Takes about 4 hours or more for my tank to clear up. :upsidedown:

As for my skimmer collection, it has increased tremendously. Used to be 1/5 cup for a week, right now, it is 3/4 cup within 3 days and it is Kopi O colour... :eyeblur:

When I dosed Reef Booster, my tank turned this cloudy also for 4 hours before it cleared up. Not sure if other people who used Reef Booster has experienced this before.

On RC, there are many threads concerning the use of Reef Booster and Bio Clean/Digest and the one common thing they mentioned is the Reef Booster is super concentrated. One of the reefers there mentioned that you should use Bio Clean/Digest for 6-8 weeks first before starting to use Reef Booster. The reason he gave was that you need to build up your bacteria count before using Reef Booster otherwise your nitrates would shoot up sky high.

Anyway, I found that probably 90% of the posts on RC regarding Reef Booster and Bio Clean/Digest were from reefers who keep SPS tanks.
