Well off today to look like a drug dealer, need to go buy a scale to measure my stones. Since the bag I purchased was in Kg I had to figure out how much to run since all my calculations were in L.

So zeolites have a density of 0.85g/cm3 and the conversion for cm3=mL is 1cm3=1mL

So I am going to run 500g of zeolite in this system

umm school is paying off

But that's just from my experience. Good luck !
Thats exactly why I haven't picked it up yet. I probably won't add zeoFood for at least 2 weeks and I do want to add spongepower, just need to wait till next paycheck. Went over my bi-monthly budget lol. When I swing by your place with your frag I will have to chat with you about your regiments

If your just running the basics (Zeolites, zeobac and zeostart) your ok. The list I have is the reccomended schedule from zeovit for a nano 40 and under. There are still lots of guys out there who have great success with the system who aren't running zeozym,b-balance... but CV,SP,PS,PX,CS and AA are all ones that are highly reccomended to run. K-balance is another one.
