    ZEOvit. Lets talk

    Haole, as far as I know, in the states, there is only one source of zeovit or similar product. It's imported by Captive Oceans. Captive Oceans has a network of dealers scattered around the US. They have done a good job of making sure that all the dealers are well stocked. Stirring the...

    bubble king pricing?

    I don't know if you will find any sales but there is a Canadian distributor for BK's http://www.aquariumobsessed.com/ I think he's a sponsor here on this site as well.

    The smaller Bubble Kings we have in the US are 10" diamter. Bubble size is the same or smaller on a BK, not sure what the gph of beckets are.

    ZEOvit. Lets talk

    I"m with Scott on this one. Feeding doesn't need to change, unless you are overfeeding to begin with. What i've noticed, and something I appreciate about the system, is that once people see the results of low nutrients, they do improve their husbandry practices. Husbandry is, of course...

    ZEOvit. Lets talk

    It makes sense to me too (enriched bacteria). If I remember correctly, the claim was that bacteria process these elements (AA's, vitamins, etc) extremely fast and thus the coral would get minimal or no benefit from elements the bacteria has consumed. That being said, would you rather eat a...

    ZEOvit. Lets talk

    Hello all. ZEO dealer/user here. Just wanted to get that out of the way. Since the BEGINING we've been saying that the corals are feeding on "enriched" bacteria, but have been told that is impossible so since we cannot prove or disprove, we kind of keep quiet now. I don't know everything...

    o2manyfish - Skimmer Comparison

    My bad rufio. I understand the principle of needlwheels vs standard very well. I must have fallen asleep at the wheel for a second. I didn't realize you were commenting on my observation of the non needlewheel pump. i had forgotten that i had posted that. Sorry for the confusion

    o2manyfish - Skimmer Comparison

    maybe i'm not following you exactly but both skimmers/pumps (BK and Deltec) employ needlewheels. I don't think anyone expected the Eheim to push as much air/water as the Red Dragon, but wheather that is a benefit or not is yet to be seen.

    o2manyfish - Skimmer Comparison

    The Deltec pump is a 1260. I thought it was odd that it didn't read higher because I have an "off the shelf" 1260 that i tested and it was pulling more than 1000L per hour. Maybe the pump isn't operating at 100% or maybe the mods they do to the eheims cut down on air. Either way, it's...

    o2manyfish - Skimmer Comparison

    Dave must be really busy. I haven't heard from him and he usually gets back to me pretty quick. The last I heard was that Euro Reef wanted to donate one of their new skimmers and Dave was waiting on that since was ER's turn to go. I think he probably has it by now but hasn't had a chance to...

    I think Dave has been very busy lately but he did tell me he hoped to make some headway this weekend on getting the next round up and running.

    No the Bubble King is in a latter round. Round 3 is the Euro Reef, Via Aqua, and the Aqua Medic.

    Actually even when running 3 skimmers at a time this tank is still being underskimmed.

    Skimming conversation

    right now i'm using a Southbay 6-1 with a sedra 3500? (after the comparison I will use the Bubble King 250) Wet foam always. I've never understood the dry foam thing. We always talk about trying to get the bigger or best skimmer, but then people want dry foam with it. Doesn't make sense. If...

    Mike, how do you find this "balance" or know what it is. example, if I say ca is 410 what, in your opinion, is the appropriate alk? Or ca of 470, alk? thanks madison

    o2manyfish - Skimmer Comparison

    I think the point of this is determine several factors about many different kinds of skimmers so we can all be better informed when we make a purchase. Cleaning a skimmer every few days may not bother some people, some people might have a very light fish load and don't need the best skimmer...
