Here is some info about my tank and dosing schedule I have been running this tank as a reef for two years now. And before that it was a FOWLR with Red Sea angels. I have missed doing the reef aspects of my tank, and rehomed all the angels. I started with a mixed reef, softies, zoas, LPS and a few SPS. The tank slowly took shape, and with in a year most of the soft corals and LPS were removed to make room for more colorful SPS. Last month an aussie acanlord with 150+ heads was one of the last to be removed to become almost full SPS, the only exception of two fungia plates, which will remain in my reef. Growth has been nothing short of amazing using the zeovit system. Starting with small colonies and frags from other reefers they have now grown into nice sized colonies, the largest is 10inch plus. To counter act with all the growth trimming and pruning is a must, many fragments of my SPS have found their way into other reef aquariums in and around Calgary. I love everything about the reef hobby and all the great people I have met along the way.
