The Guide

This is it. The one the Only.

When it gets updated this link will just point to the updated guide.

I've updated the reference library to include this link as well :biggrin: Zeovit sure is enticing. Perhaps I'll have to revisit it when I move back home.

now for some disclaimer yada yada yada...

These are EARLY results. The tank's only 3.5 weeks old. I'm quite excited about them, and you can share in my excitement if you like. I think, though, that the fact the tank's very new should be considered before anyone decides to hop in and do the same. I'm going to keep documenting my progress and I'll start taking pictures soon when I add a few more corals.

My dosing has technically been cut down after the tank was swapped for the 33g due to the leak. I don't know how that'll affect future performance. The guide says it's better to underdose than overdose, and most of the dosing calculations are a drop per 25g. So instead of dosing 2 drops of each various chemical I'm still only dosing 1 drop in the 33g tank.

I do have to say the highest cost in the entire zeovit system for me has been raising the potassium levels to NSW... I think if I were to consider the ammount of testing fluids and dosing fluid for the K+ I went through I went through more $$ value of K+ stuff than the rest of the 4 part zeovit system combined ($ for $). It's the "hidden cost" of running zeovit.

The Guide shows up as gibberish to me.

Tell me more about the K+ business. What are the levels that you are shooting for? What were your levels before?

Do you have Acrobat installed on your system and as a plug-in to your web browser

I initially used Potassium Chloride but Potassium Iodide could also be used.
You can get it at any health food store or hydroponics place. I will caution you that Over Dosing on K will kill fish. I know, it's not fun.

But other than that look for a salt higher in K like RBS or Seachem. then you don't have to dose as much

my levels before were around 220, and you need to shoot for 380-420 (about the same as calcium)

Yeah my bucket of oceanpure pro is almost empty. The LFS here that stocks zeovit might be getting reefer's best in stock with perfect timing :)

I have read the guide and it says that there are 3 different kinds of the stones involved.
The questions are :
1-When you need less then 1/4 of the bag; are you getting all 3 kinds of ZEO rocks in the mix? And how do you know how to tell one kind from the other?
2- The guide indicates that to calculate NET water volume you need to take20% off the volume (for the live rock )use 60% of the volume and then use 20% less for the first set up so what would that be for your tank? I think 240ml is more than what your tank needs if i read the guide correctly...

thx.

Yup. I tried it on two computes, both macs, and it was a no-go both times. Its unfortunate because I know I used to be able to read it.

Any updates Sean? How about some pics of your guinea pig corals? :)
