ckyuv Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Notice anything from the zeo yet? Did u install the Vega upgrade or is it all blue sol? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckyuv Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 That is a lot of Monti cap also isn't it? That stuff grows super fast and might shade the lower tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Capt. Obvious Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share Posted May 14, 2013 Montis have been mounted in such a way where shading will not be an issue. Still waiting on the vega upgrade kits to come in (they take a couple weeks after order). As far as the zeovit, yes I have noticed a few changes: my polyp extension is insane, colors are starting to "pop", the mild "dusting" of algae I had on various areas of my sandbed vanished. On the negative: one coral suffered a bit of STN, but nothing major Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckyuv Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 DId you choose the colors that come in the Vega kit or is it the same for all of them? I'm interested to see how much color/growth you get with those lights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kept it mostly default on the vega colors but added some uv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Capt. Obvious Posted May 16, 2013 Author Share Posted May 16, 2013 holy disappearing posts Batman! here is my update from yesterday: I picked up an Apex with new ph and orp probes from Craigslist for $300 and received notification that both my vega upgrades have shipped: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Capt. Obvious Posted May 19, 2013 Author Share Posted May 19, 2013 Exciting!! Sadly the old style AI controller doesn't work on Vegas only the new style AI controller. Which would have sucked, except... Last week my old style controller started acting up. I put in a support ticket with AI and, after exchanging a few emails to troubleshoot, they sent me a replacement controller. They saw I had an order for 2 vega upgrades and sent me out the new controller free of charge! In addition my WXM module also came in today for my Apex. Like Christmas up in here. I have to say, I have had tremendous service and support from both Avast Marine and AquaIllumination. Oh, and I won $75 in credit from Avast Marine for my YouTube review of the zeovit tumbler! On the negative side...my EB8 gave up the ghost today...with a pop and a sizzle and a wisp of smoke. replacement is already on order but it still aggravates me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+KimP Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 That's cool about the controller! I'm interested in how the upgrade goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Capt. Obvious Posted May 19, 2013 Author Share Posted May 19, 2013 That's cool about the controller! I'm interested in how the upgrade goes. As much as I'd love to do it tonight (or even tomorrow) I am pretty sure I won't get around to it until Monday at best. But I'll let you know how it goes.

+Capt. Obvious Posted May 20, 2013 Author Share Posted May 20, 2013 Well, surprisingly I was able to find (make) time to do the upgrades last night.The were very simple (basically you just remove everything from the heatsink, except the fan, and replace it with vega guts)I am currently just running the default timers with blue and white at a max of 35% and the others at a 15-18% max. Look good...however during the sunset ramp down it I a bit too purple for me, so I'll need to adjust it at some point.Also the mounting screws for the vega are shorter to prevent contact with the pucks so my old mount doesn't work quite right and will need to be replaced. If I was using an AI mount this would not be an issue.Now I just have to figure out what to do with the guts of 2 AI Sols Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
