wasp Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 No. That would be more than I've spent on ALL Zeovit products I've bought in the 2 years I've been running the system!!!! You REALLY have a problem with Zeovit Huh Layton? In fact it's so long since I bought my 50 ml bottle that I cannot remember the exact price, the stuff really lasts. I only know my total spend. Not sure what you're used to Layton, but CV is used by the drop, not the litre !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasp Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 Here we go!!! Layton thinks he found another problem Trouble is Layton, nobody I know buys it by the litre. I'm not sure what you're used to, but with Zeovit, less is often more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasp Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 Layton, as you pride yourself on your understanding of maths, how many euros for a drop? You do understand it is used by the drop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lduncan Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 $50 to $60 dollars for 50mL then. Seems kind of expensive. What sort of food is it? Chemical or cellular based? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasp Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 Here we go Exactly the same thing you were arguing about a while back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reef Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 Coral foods which I found work well is reef roids and reef booster. My xenia doubles size every few weeks. The reef roids are some type of zoo plankton and the reef booster seems like some sort of fatty acids. For SPS the best food is amino acids as most hobbyist using it have noticed far better colour and growth after a 4 week period. Whilst you get great polyp extensions from using foods I doubt it does anything for SPS coral as it is too big for the polyps to utilise, they probably open due to being bombarded with fine particles. I have been told that someone in Germany has done test on some coral foods and found that many foods are only fatty acids like sardine oil with a big price tag. Julian sprangs food was the worst.

wasp Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 Reef Roids Huh? Seems kind of expensive! What sort of food is it? Chemical or cellular based? Ha Ha! I was just kidding. I use Reef Roids also & think it is a good product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lduncan Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 says above, zoo plankton, so that would be cellular. But shouldn't that be a trade secret? :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasp Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 Well as the people who make it have a financial interest, they must automatically be lying, right? :lol: :lol: At least that's the line of logic you applied during one of your zeobashing fits a while ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasp Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 Very informative link Reef. Absolutely agree the importance of feeding corals as I've seen so much difference since starting this myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reef Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 One thing about feeding is that it is easy to pollute your tank. Most people don’t run a low nutrient tank so adding coral food need to be done very sparingly. I was adding the reed roids daily and started to noticed thr rocks going dark which is a sign of a build up of nutrients. Now i only dose twice a week.

You twisted something I said. What I actually said was: Your choice is to to look at the evidence and observations available, and ask whether the description of fertiliser fits it, or alternatively take the word of people who are in discussion with the manufacturer. Going buy their staunch stance on not releasing information on what their products contain, do you expect them to confirm such a question. Like people have said it could jeopardise their revenue. Which is why you really have to focus on what the product does, and go from their. and you response to that was: Basically here you are accusing them of lying to get money. I don't "zeobash", just ask questions, and note observations. Layton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people don’t run a low nutrient tank so adding coral food need to be done very sparingly. This is what I needed to know So with my Nitrates running around 25 (have to test again today) should I be feeding Reef Booster (I feed it once a week at the moment) And what is this Reef Roids is it also a prodibio product Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reef Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 I would only be feeding reedbooster once a week . Reef roids is also a type of coral food. not a prodibio product. here is some info : http://www.fnzas.org.nz/fishroom/new-product-for-acropor-and-corals-vt12439.html I found that you also have to keep a eye on the dosing as overdosing will cause excess nutrients.

raeh1 Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 If you get natural sea water, add it within the day.. Full of all sorts of natural interesting stuff I think. Seems to feed all my corals.... Just the odd hitchiker. Crabs all good so far, and limpits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
