Its expensive up front but the additives last a long time especially the zebeck and zeostart. Regular dosing? What do you consider regular dosing? I like zeovit. The first time I ran it I just ran a reactor and dosed a vodka/ vinegar/ sugar mix with zoebak and got fair results. I still had high NO3 and PO4 but I did have good growth and color. When biopellets came out I switched and after a while I came back to zeovit.
Thanks, I started Triton fairly recent for my tank so I'll see how it goes. I'm always interested in learning other ways to maintain a healthy reef tank.

Got my order from 80/20 inc today so I got to hang 2 of the three Hydras. I got a few pieces coming in a couple days to take care of the wires but this is what I have so far

Here's what I'm using to hang the bar



Here it is in the canopy



And mounted

Made some harnesses so I can remove the canopy without detaching the lights

Added moulding to the canopy and rough sanded it today. The harness really worked out the way I hoped so removing the canopy was real easy

Ok, here's another update. I'm having issues with my Apex. I've been able to fix one of them through email with Neptune Aquatics (One of my EB8s wasn't working). The only issue I have now is with the display, it's not on the list of modules and it's stuck on a blank blue screen. I might have to send it in for repair.

I finally got power heads for flow! I put 2 MP60s on this build. It's WAY overkill on this build but I like that when I put them on full blast they pick up ALL the detritus. I won't run them too long on full power because I'm sure it puts a lot of stress on the seams but I like that I'll be running them under 50% (50% is still a lot of flow ) so less wear and tear and no noise from them at all.

As for the tank it self I got an algae bloom when I transferred all the fish over all at once ( I'm sure having no power heads added to it too) so I started dosing the way I did for days 4-14 during the zeovit 14 day cycle and the algae problem is almost gone.

As far as the live stock, the Achilles is now eating everything I feed (frozen,flakes, nori, and pellets) and is getting along fine with the purple tang. My inferno gave me an awesome Christmas present and split on Christmas Day and so far both clones are looking good but every now and then they deflate completely. All corals are looking good and I'm getting better colors in this tank than I was in the 45g.
