It's been about two weeks now since I started dosing MB7. A couple of days ago, I started dosing vodka again. So far my sps are lightening up/pastelling. I will start dosing AA soon and feed the tank more to get some darker colors. I'm happy with the results so far.

How about the soft stuff Nick how are they doing?

I'm dosing AA and Koralcolor from Brightwell

 

[djrice69]

What kind of corals do you have in your tank? Sps? Lps? Softies? Mixed? Do you notice any color difference?

I remember when i was just dosing vodka only I started getting RTN on some of my sps not sure if its related, but thats just my observation.

I will start dosing MB7 on my tank next week. Im still debating if I want to use the BW Biofuel or the Vodka.

Also im debating if I wanna keep using the zeolith stones. I think ill keep using the zeolith stones, all my research says that they absorb ammonia/ammonium very effectively. But i really hate pumping the reactor twice a day.

Im switching from zeovit to brightwell. I had horrible algae problems with zeovit. I never over-dosed neither, I followed the instructions very carefully as suggested by the moderators on the zeovit forum.

 

[djrice69]

let us know how that goes

 

[JOSE CASAS]

They are getting more color.

Really what color are they getting?

 

[JOSE CASAS]

How long does it take to get color?

softies are actually doing great, except for leathers. Yumas/ricordeas and zoanthids are acting normal, no color shifts. I did notice that my zoanthis have been growing at a fast steady rate though.

Thanks for the info Nick!

Well, Nick, you have inspired me My tank has been running so well/smoothly with my current vodka dosing rate, I figured I have a good "baseline" going to start something new. I got a couple bottles of Microbe-Lift Bacterial Aquarium Balancer by Ecological Labs at IMAC to try out.

I hope to keep a better/more detailed record of the trial than I did when I first started vodka dosing....

Wow, 4 days and I'm already getting polyp color shift!! My tricolors are getting those translucent bright green polyps. They never have those in my tank

Nice peter, I did notice the same thing with my tri-color as well. What's your dosing regime?

 

[AGEJAY]

Are you guys running carbon at the same time during the MB7 and vodka?

Nick... when you say 8 drops... is that 8 drops from a dropper?
