Kinda tired of the corals growing in the AIO so pulled about 80% out and put in some fresh cured rock. Gonna do zoas in this tank. Added about 12 varieties to get started, including Bowsers, AIO, Utter Chaos, Pink Diamonds, Twizzlers, Mickeys Ds, Purple Hornets, Whammin' Watermelons. Still have about 12 more types to add.
Cheers! Mark

Enjoyed your build thread! Beautiful.

Can you elaborate more on your criptic zone? What are your thoughts/experiences with one?

Also, in your thread you mention a couple times adding bacteria and that it helped. What bacteria are you adding?

Thank you.

Thanks! My cryptic is a 40 gallon breeder. It gets low levels of ambient light but has no light fixture. I think they are an excellent way to get more filtration through the rocks without spending a small fortune on lights and electricity.
I added the Zeovit bacteria, Microbacter7, ProBio and Vibrant. I have not added any in a while. I do add vinegar through the ATO as food for my current bacterial colonies. I have a lot of bacteria in my reef currently.
Cheers! Mark

I have a friend who lives in Placerville that I want to help to do the same for if it’s OK. Regardless, every time I see your new posts, I get The inner feeling that I want to say I got at age 13 for the last Time. I am bewildered me. I don’t know what you have but I know it’s always worth it. Feel free to text!

A while back my son fragged our plate coral into about 9 pieces. I glued one of the frags to a rock to heal. A couple months later I popped it off the rock and sold it. Well sometime later I noticed microscopic green dots on the rock. I was wondering if it was from the plate coral, but there was so much super glue, the coral didnt even touch the rock. This is what those tiny specks look like today. They are small 1/8-1/4 inch but there is a whole herd of them.
Cheers! Mark
