zeovit
 
Can a TLF phosban reactor be used as a zeovit reactor? It will be on a 75.

Yes. You just have to shake it manually every day.

Jason McK 01-10-2008 04:12 AM

they can be used. you will need to be able to fit .75L of Zeolith into it. with room to aggitate. Also a max of 75G/h

I've got two of the reactors and I'll use one for rowaphos and the other for zeolith. Can I run these in sequence off the supplied mj400 or should I run them separatley with an mj400 on both?

Oh, and why do you have to agitate it and is there another way to accomplish this without having to shake it?

A zeovit reactor has a plunger for cleaning the material every day. Since teh Phosban reactor doesn't have a plunger you clean the material by shaking the reactor.

I have a TLF hanging on the back of my Red Sea Max with zeovit and carbon in it. Makes it easy to reach for the daily shake.

It is not recommended to use any phosphate removal while on Zeo. Actually there is little need for it.
Zeo and the bacteria use will quickly elliminate phosphate. using Rowa can actually defeat the ability of Zeovit.

You need to agitate it to remove the Muln (bacteria) to feed your corals

well ****! I wish I would have known that before buying the rowaphos! So if I use the media do I have to use any of the other zeo line of products? It suggests using the media in conjunction with zeobak,zeostart and zeofood.

Yup...what Jason said. Flushes the "mulm" into the water column.

I'm using the rock with zeobak,zeostart and zeofood dosing acording to their guide. Everything I've read recommends using the 4 products together for the method to work.
