If you don't mind me asking, how much did it set you back? And how long do you figure it will last you??

I don't mind. Here is what I ordered. You don't really need a reactor - you can go with any canister type filter as long as you can dial it back to around 100gph. This is supposedly what I will need for about 8-12 months.

just go ont his URL then you'll have a basic idea about ZEOvit.

Newguy, I dont think running BB is a must but it's recommanded. just go check on www.zeovit.com it should tel you everything.

Ruth, I really can't wait to see the results... good luck with your 190!

sorry i should have originally said..

damn that’s a good looking tank. ive never really seen a half circle tank that didn’t suck. good job.

Haha... nevermind.

Nice tank.

what? i was giving the guy a compliment, it really is a good looking tank. what attitude?

I agree, those half circles and corner tanks are hard to aquascape and light sometimes. That tank looks pretty cool. Where did you get the tank from yifan?

Wowie, wow, wow. At that price I will stick to my tried and true (for me) Chemipure. :biggrin:

Compared to some other things I have purchased for my tank I didn't think it was too bad. When I look in the box of things I have upgraded because I didn't buy what I should have in the first place this pales. Anyone wanna buy some PC lights or pumps or skimmer parts? JK I'll keep them as backup.

the reason i thought it would start a debate is because on other forums people are more familiar with this product. from the little i read about it is that people dont want to add something to their system which they cannot test for.
