What a beautifully, wicked system. All the hard work has really paid BIG dividends.
Really great.
You talk about Zeo principals (without zeo bac), may I ask what this is ?
Thanks Warr. Big dividends.

Yea, piece of mind, great distraction, the surge of success when things blossom, the simple pleasure of coming home in the evenings is interest paid 10 fold. Not to mention the accumulated knowledge, which in the "brave new world" helps us understand how flimsy these marine habitats truly are.
Regarding Zeo Bac; The system relies heavily on nutrient reduction, by stimulating bacterial growth (using a carbon source) which in turn ends up as food for Small Polyp Stony Corals. One concern is that unless you dose with Zeo Bac you run the risk of developing a mono cultured strain of bacteria with ...as far as i know unknown side effects.
I have not run Zeo Bac since July 2007, and have not seen any side effects. So until i am convinced what those effects may be, the status quo will remain.
