For those only running partial Zeo what are you dosing?
 
I seem to remember a thread like this recently, but can't find it. Anyway, I'm not ready to go full blown Zeo, but want to experiment with some of the individual bits. What are others dosing and how much?

I'm shifting from SPS more to LPS/softies/zoas.

I use amino acid for polyp extension for sps and for lps such as candycane.And Sponge Power for colourization.That seems to be all they need. 4 drops of amino each night into my 20 gal sump of my 90 gal tank and the same with Sponge Power every second night.

I would use the AA LPS, heres a link. When I first started zeo i had softies and LPS and had used it with great results.

Man, this Zeo stuff isn't cheap. But I guess you only have to add a drop or two at a time.

yeah,but for my tank it lasts many months. I think I buy it twice a year.

for everything i dose, i think it works out to be under 20$ a year.

I have used AA, CS, Sponge, Xtra, glow. I also have vitalizer but rarely use (red slime algae outbreaks).

Take it slow, making sure also use CS to control the nutrient when using those.

For my tank(aprox 130g total system volume,mixed reef) I dose

5ml k-balance
5ml b-balancs
5ml Xtra
5ml Coral Snow
5 drops Coral Vitalizer
5 drops Amino Acid
5 drops Sponge Power
5 drops Stylo-Pocci Glow
5 drops Kaliumiodid-Flour
every day

5ml Strontium Komplex
2-3 times a week(because Tailored Aquatics Calcium contains strontium now)

What about dealing with cyano? I've recently had an outbreak.
