ok update on zeovit and my nano. I've done a lot more research on zeovit and sps corals in general and I'm going to make it an SPS tank. I finally was able to get some zeovit stones today so this is the day I start it all.
I'm going to test the hype that zeovit can bring a new tank stable and ready for SPS in record time. I'm going to see if the system can meet those expectations. It will also require diligence on my part that I've never exercised on one of my own tanks so I also see this as an opportunity to bump my reefkeeping up a knotch.
Here are the specifications of my tank:
24 gallon bowfront (24" long, 12" wide, 16" tall)
aprox 30 pounds liverock (15 pounds fresh, 15 pounds cooked)
82F (stealth heater)
400gph koralia 1 water pump on full time.
two maxijet 1200's alternating on 15 minute timer. One runs across open water at back of tank, the other directly into the liverock.
aqua-c Remora protein skimmer. Started break in period Nov 12th.
automatic top off.
RO/DI water
150W HQI Aquaconnect 14k (6 hours a day)
2x65W Actinic PC (10 hours a day)
I have 200mL of zeovit in a home made reactor flowing aprox 15 gph.
Dosing according to latest zeovit guide.
Will be dosing Coral Vitalizer and amino concentrate once there are corals.
Weekly water changes of 5%.
So this thread will be used to track my progress with zeovit through nitrate testing (weekly) and photographs (weekly). There won't be any corals for a few weeks so the photographs will be sparse initially.
