Because It's kind of ugly.
My tank? It's a work in progress. I just explained that I've overcome dry rock-related issues and dinos and I'm finally able to once again grow SPS like in the old live rock days. Give me a few months of growth before you judge.
Definitely not at all saying anyones tank is ugly at would never judge I am no pro. I was just say about the original topic I think SPS are just ugly.
My wife tells me the Acros are boring. She likes flowy colorful stuff.Definitely not saying anyones tank is ugly at all would never judge I am no pro please dont get me wrong. I was just saying about the original topic I think SPS are just ugly.
Is anyone here battling near zero nutrients in a tank free of algae?
This is my post from my tank. I started with 100% dead Reefsaver rock and dead mesoflake sand. I can't figure anything else out why my SPS are dying, so I'm going to give the beneficial bacteria / microfauna a shot. I ordered the Zeobak and Zeostart3, but more importantly I also ordered 15lbs of Live Rock from KP Aquatics that should come this week. I heard great things about them, and hopefully that will serve as a good seeding for the tank. I"ll report back with my findings after a few months. You all think 15lbs is enough to seed it?Another tank with the same problem. It's almost like an epidemic
SPS Keep Dying - Please Help - Tank Parameters Seem Ideal
Hi all, I am hoping to find out what the culprit for my tank is that is killing all my SPS. I’ve done a fair amount of research over the past year, and from what I can tell, my water parameters, lighting, nutrients, etc etc. are all in-line with what a successful reef tank should have to let...www.reef2reef.com

Please give update on your tank. About dosing u can read this threadThis is my post from my tank. I started with 100% dead Reefsaver rock and dead mesoflake sand.

Richard from Tampa Bay Saltwater was saying that the bad weather and winds had him backed up a few weeks, so I went with KP Aquatics. Both great choices as I understand it. Might get some from Tampa Bay Saltwater in a few weeks too. The more diversity, the better - or no?Probably.
since you’re in Naples why not go Tampa Bay saltwater?
If u can get real live rock from the ocean is great however the collection place has to be reef environment to get the right beneficial bacteria. I'm in CA and minute from ocean but I don't think the rock here will work.Richard from Tampa Bay Saltwater was saying that the bad weather and winds had him backed up a few weeks, so I went with KP Aquatics.

You need to find out if they start with dry rock or live rock from existing tank. The theory with bacteria is good for Sps is not invented by me. I compared the reef tank from now to the reef tank in the past and the only thing we are lacking is bacteria from the live rock.I’ve seen many tanks with thriving corals that don’t have to dose any bacteria. They keep it simple: Stability, flow, light, and food.
I’ve also seen many tanks, mine included, that follow the basic principles yet have nothing but problems.
I started with cycled rock from my lfs. Rock that came out of his tanks. His tanks aren’t the little chop shop tanks that many lfs have, they are filled with very healthy colonies.
Since starting up on bacteria dosing, I am noticing small, positive, changes. But why?
Something is up. Something we aren’t finding.
Please keep us updated. The key to dose zeovit is slow n increase when needed. After 6 months you should see result.I got my delivery from @Bulk Reef Supply today. I just manually dosed 50%: Zeofood plus, Zeobak and Zeostart. I have been dosing Red Sea A and B which are amino and carbs daily for 4 weeks. I will add the 50% of the Zeovite tomorrow and agitated by hand.
