chimera

:lol: :roll: :-? :oops: 8) so was the cyano there before or after zeovit? had a water change been done and did the user stick to the recommended dosing? i can show you lots of tanks that dont use zeovit but have cyano so what does that prove?

i ditched telecom Jetstream500 plan about a month ago and went to IHUG's bliink service. Have never had ANY problems with IHUG as an ISP (been with them for about 8 years - back in the dialup days) Even kept my IHUG account when I tried Xtra (which I ditched about 4 months later because of crap service, sure they'd answer my phone calls but did they ever call me back? No!) Definately recommend IHUG. I never needed to contact their helpdesk as most of their services can be done online. Check out http://www.bliink.co.nz/ for pricing - not too bad. Way less than Telecom/Xtra anyways!

depends on where you are (mairangi bay for you, might be ok?) I just think wireless is (relatively) new and still not fully tested technology. bad weather gives attenuation, high latency is a pain and way worse than you'll ever see on most dsl circuits. bandwidth is usually marketed bigger and better than you will ever see as its usually 'on the best day' type scenario. i do believe woosh have got better though, running some sort of GSM+WCDMA type network? oh, but check that you dont need a booster aerial in your area for the cost and reliability, im sticking to dsl!!!

so who has an iron test kit? someone about to start using zeovit? iron test prior to dosing zeovit, then another test a week later (no water changes to influence results) surely iron test kits arent that hard to get hold of?

lost. wwan = crap. far to much likihood for interference, crosstalk etc. add a little rain = walker wireless, dont get me started. the number of clients i have had ditch them because of reliability and latency issues! for home user or small office, wlan is most convenient!

colour only. perhaps a little extra unwanted algae growth. CHIMERAS ZEOVIT GUIDE vII zeovit adds iron. dose zeovit, dose iron. change water, remove iron. corals get colourful, chimera is happy. corals bleach, chimera blames himself for overdosing zeovit or lack in water changes. end of manual.

but of course, just look at my tank :-? takes more than just zeovit to have a great tank... blood, sweat and tears

wasp's house?

thats nice craig but what im looking at above are a whole lot of letters that make up some funny sounding sentence but NO PICTURES TO LOOK AT!!!

no export of nutrients by changing the water in a closed system? i seem to recall a similar increase in diatom growth the last time I didnt change water for 6 weeks... bloody crap deltec skimmers Mmmm, perhaps. Problem is proving the theory scientifically. If you have evidence (no sarcasm here) show me. I do have some cyano growth after starting zeovit which I did not have for quite sometime prior and diatom growth is perhaps a little up on last time. Probably why they state 10% weekly water changes. I dont think that is in the user guide for the hell of it.

damn, i was hoping to run for prime minister at least Id make it fair for EVERY nzl'er and not just the lazy ones :-?

nothing, but they aren't eheim

either 1. drive up to auckland and go to mulford plastics or 2. ask pies

zeovit guidelines is 10% a week. however even WITHOUT using zeovit, i would certainly try and opt for the same maintenance regime. I typically try for 20% every 2 weeks but lately i've been slack so its 20% every 4-6 weeks (AND I run zeovit) it would be very interesting to see how much diatom/algae growth i actually got (which I did get) if i did exactly the same thing in the last 6 weeks but did NOT run zeovit. would i have the same? would i have less? would i have more? who knows, but to make a statement like "zeovit adds a nutrient" is a pretty big call. so what if it does? proof is in the pudding. so far WITHOUT water changes (ok, other than 100 litres or 10% in the last 6 weeks) I still seemed to gain much better colours in my acro's in any 6 week period before that. even after all these years reef keeping is still such a new and unknown hobby. so much to learn - even for the so called "experts".

look at me, my arms are open and im happy! oh wait, i've folded my arms, angry again... why is there no "really sarcastic" face to choose?

i seriously hope that was an attempt at humour otherwise your @#$!@# status has just gone up a notch

tell you what Layton, if I can brew 100 litres for $10, I'll switch to ASW

ooooh yeah, i can't wait to add another $100 a month to my already expensive hobby... not to mention cost of prefilters, RO filter, DI resin and water bill... whats that? how many billion cubic litres of seawater right at my door step? say what? for free? nooo...., and here i was paying a local retailer for a bag of little white granules :lol:

ahhhh haaaa haaaaa haaaaaaaaaaaa!

never said it was a hard core rule layton, they're generalising. there are other factors of course, but in general, if its open, its happy. perhaps it was, but then if it was, increase zoox is a good thing.

twin turbo's, cool - heaps of skimming + redundancy (not that deltec's fail - although you are running the deltec's with aquabee's aren't you?) TS1060's? no use telling us about it, SHOW us! more pic's! btw, seen one couch, seen 'em all

why not - depending on price though of course. discount for bulk? so you enquiring about it???

very, where is the pricing for the ap902?

my wife calls us all fish geeks. could be worse i suppose. oh dear brian is having a moment your brain is as warped as mine dude cracker, hurry up and get ya tank in i wanna see more pics! from what i remember correctly, you werent going with any closed loops? what else are you using for water movement? streams?

japanese house?
