If we let the No3 goes up a bit, indeed some corals improve their colors, but others goes the opposite way The Sohal went away a few weeks ago... and we could notice a color fading in some acros, fish **** helps Another thing that we use and helps a bit are Amino Acids, and thats all we use for colors along with trace elements through the balling salts

IME, you can really pop coral with very low N and P with good T5 and MH lights.... much harder, but not impossible, under LED. I keep mine very low, as well. The ZEO (and the like) tanks in Europe that really pop are mostly T5 tanks with a few MH sprinkled in.

JDA, I’m running an ATI 8x54w T5 fixture just 3 inches off the water and agree with you completely. My corals do well with T5s.
Ricardo, I haven’t paid much attention to amino acids and just considered them another form of carbon. Based on your feedback, I’m going to have to do some experimenting. Thanks for sharing your recipe! |

ReefKeeper64, we found out other supplements as just another form of carbon (like ZEOfood7), but not Amino Acids

I also use ozone and saw your comment about you using it for water clarity. I feel that ozone provides other important benefits and I suspect that you are probably realizing the additional benefits. Whatever it is you're doing, its working!

My anecdotal experience is that water clarity is improved, odors are eliminated and I never experience diatoms. From a scientific standpoint, Ozone kills bacteria and viruses on contact. It also destroys toxins released by corals when then are battling with each other. It's also effective in destroying organic contaminants, pathogens, and a variety of inorganic materials. Fish health is improved, which is why ozone is often used in commercial fisheries. For all of ozone's inherent power, it is perfectly safe and will not adversely affect people, pets, or equipment when properly installed. I followed the instructions on setup, vented skimmer exhaust outside, only run it at night, and use a controller fitted with an ORP set of a max ORP of 325 (ORP at 450-500 becomes too much of a good thing). I couldn't be happier with the results. I think the OP receives the many benefits as well.

How have most of your acros not encrusted the plug over those 3 yrs? Perhaps flow related?

Hi Ricardo
What do you normally run your orp at. Do you find that the carbon is suffecient to keep orp up? Does it drop in the night so you turn you generator on? What kind of reactor are you using how much flow goes threw it. \Can we see your sump |

Most of the Acros have encrusted the plugs
The Vortechs runs at Short Pulse during the light time (10hrs) and Night Mode for 14hrs The Orp comes near 400, never noticed ORP raising with carbon... the Ozone is injected during the night to avoid any "conflit" with the carbon dosing during the day... injection is in an old skimmer We post some sump's pics soon, here it is a night display new pic... ******** async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8">
