As long as we ordered $50 or more from reefs2go, we could get free shipping. Although from my initial calculations it appears to be about twice as expensive as what I make, I would be willing to try at least one package.

I have a large piece of Grape Idaho, and two rocks of Star Polyps for sale.

The Grape Idaho is 5.5” long, and one about 3” long, but I would be willing to break it up into smaller pieces based on interest.

5.5” piece - $80

3” piece - $30

I also have two rocks covered in Star Polyps. One rock is over 4’ long, the other is much larger and I would need help removing it, hence I probably won’t touch it unless I have a real buyer.

4” piece - $50

Large piece - $80

I have other pieces as well I would be willing to sell frags of on the spot to anyone purchasing any of the above.

Thanks for looking. All pics were done under actinics, as my MHs had not come on yet.

Stephen

I'm interested. His ingrdiants sound very similar to the modified recipe I use for Eric Bornmann's fishy mix, plus a few good sound things I don't have access to.

Does anyone know how much it is?

Also, what form does it come in, frozen, dry, fresh?

Stephen

I don't think anyone carries it locally. the piece I have I got when Brian at Kingfish ordered some.

Stephen

RC works for me on Dat.

Stephen

I would like to give some a try. Did you ever get an ID of what species it is?

Stephen

Gabriel,

I am not able to section mine off like that as you may remember from the last time you saw it (I understand that has been a while back). My sump is almost "central", in that overflow drains into sump, refuge drains into sump from other direction.

so you are saying as long as I used a filter sock on the overflow, and the refuge drain continues to drain into the sump from the other direction I should be okay?

Stephen

If you are trying to get copepods from the refuge, thru sump, to your tank, won't that hinder it? That is why I stopped using them. I figured if it stopped small debri, it sould stop them too, which I didn't want.

Could be wrong on that one...

Stephen

Will,

At least this hobby doesn't leave you with a hang over in the morning.

KeeperofTheZoo,

Thanks for remembering

Stephen

I have the same concerns, and I have a KZ test kit and have never been sure about the readings when I was using it.

I'll be interested to see what others say.

One way to mitigate it is doing the weekly WCs with a high quality salt. At least that way I don't worry about overdosing on it.

Stephen

If it is the one I'm thinking it is, I have the large size one that has never been used that I will be happy to sell you for less than the retail price. I had heard good things about them (that is why I bought one), although there is apparently some tweaking at the start that needs to be done. I just never set it up and used it, as I decided to go a different direction.

Stephen

Also, for people who have not used it before, take John's advice well. You WILL use different Zeo products at very different rates. I would sggest going to the Zeo site and downloading the manual, and figure out what you will use based on the recommendations in the manual. A couple of examples:

I went thru the Amino LPS nano size in 3 days based on the recommendations.

I use 8 drops of Amino concentrate a day, whereas I use 8 MLS of the Pohl's extra a day (big difference - although I love that stuff)

Also, you can probably treat every other day, instead of every day, and still get a lot of benefit out of it. I don't (I know I could, but I do it every day).

Stephen

Hey John, is there a way to tell what size bottles we have so we can figure what to order? I've been looking and can't see the size marked anywhere on any of them.

Stephen

Clint.

I've been meaning to send these questions into the Zeo forum, but I'm being lazy and didn't want to fill out that long form, so I thought I would ask you:

These all pertain to a non-Zeo system...

PIF = Potassium Iodide Flouride, correct?

If you are using PIF, do you still recommend using K-Balance (Potassium)?

Between Coral Food and Vitalizer, which do you recommend, or both?

If you are using the Amino Concentrate, do you also recommend using Amino LPS?

After the basic 4 (SP, Amino, Vitalizer, and Xtra), which supp would you recommend going to next?

Do you test your Potassium levels? I have heard you can OD a tank using Potassium.

BTW, I've done my 2nd WC with the TM Bio-Actif salt, and am already beginning to see a difference. Maybe next time we can get John and Brian to do a group buy on it.

Stephen

I dosed 1/2 the recommended amount. We have never been able to pin point it was the cause, but the hypothesis is that it could possibly have caused my tank not to complete its cycle. There are other people who have supposedly had tank crashes from it as well.

Stick with the Pohl's Xtra for color. I'm very happy with it. The Spur2 has been the only Zeovit product I MAY have had issues with.

Stephen

Mark,

Stay away from the Spur2. Long story (and not a good one) I'll tell you about some time. the rest of the ZeoVit stuff I'm very happy with.

Maybe Clint will get in on it too.

Stephen

I'm in!!!

Stephen

I'm confused. What day are we expecting it to arrive?

Stephen

Big Clay,

PM sent on the Tunze 6100.

Stephen

If we need to cover for Viet-tin, I'll take the purple whip if someone else want the trochus snails.

Stephen

Were you able to add my order?

Stephen

Is it too late to have them add to it, since I figure they aren't shipping any earlier than Monday?

Stephen

If I had known you were looking for more info I could have lent you the Tyree CD I have around here somewhere where he spends most of the CD explaining it.

Stephen

Well, it looks like I got beat to the punch. I would have have liked to get him as well.

Stephen

Let us know what you want for the other one since the Lunar is gone. Also, why are you getting rid of them. Fairy Wrasses are one fish you can't have too many of, IMO.
