Hi thanx again for your help Alexander. 😊

I'm planning to buy a hannachecker for PO4

[Hommi]

Her is some pictures from today, i'm now using a Canon EOS 550D.

Much easier to take pictures, but i still have to lear how to use it

[Hommi]

Hi all nothing much has happen here, i have bought some new corals and one fish😊.

I've bought 2 millepora one blue and one pink, and a acropora plana pink tips and a acropora caroliniana purple tips😊.

I've also bought a Hanna checker for phosphate, i have checked the water twice and the test shows 0,00.

But i still have problems with alges on the glass. I must clean it every day.

My blue millepora is a bit brown, may it be that it only have to acclimatise?

It is placed high under my 2 hydra 52 in good curent.

Your corals looking good, can you post a update of your actual dosing regimen and the PO4 and NO3 level ?

G.Alexander

[Hommi]

Hi my NO3 is 0 measured with salifert test and my PO4 is 0,00 measured with Hanna Checker. But the Hanna Checker has a accuracy at +-0,04, so i may have 0,04.

Zeostarter: 2x0,25ml daily
Zeobac: 3 drops Monday and Thursday
Zeofood7: 2 drops Monday and Thursday
Sponge Power: 3 drops every other day
Coral Vitalizer: 3 drops Thuesday and Friday
B-Balance: 3 ml Wednesday and Saturday
Blue Treasure K+ buffer: I ad this in my top of water to maintain K+ at 400

I use 0,6 liter zeovitstone and 0,250 liter carbon

[Hommi]

All the corals have light tissue except the 2 milleporas, both get much light and medium to strong flow.

[G.Alexander]

Thank you that looks good, you might try to reduce ZeoStart to 0.2 ml 2 x daily for a while to see if that helps, anyway the film is not a problem just some additional work.

Are there any other korallenzucht products you already have ?

G.Alexander

[Hommi]

Thank you, i have K Balance but i stoped useing this because i could not maintain K+ with it. Blue treasure K+ powder buffer work fine😊

Do you recommend to start with other korallen zucht products?

[G.Alexander]

Hard to say over the time it might make sense to use a iodine supplement and a product like XTra additional especially if corals tissue becomes lighter.

What iodine supplement do you recommend?

All my corals looks fine exept this blue millepora.

[G.Alexander]

You can give PIF a try starting as follows:

1 drop / 25 US gallons every other day for 10 days.

Okay thanks, will this raise K+?

[G.Alexander]

It will not have a measurable impact to the potassium concentration.
