Just starting zeovit

Hey everyone!

Decided that I want to get more out of my tank, so I went out and got what I needed to start the zeovit system!

So Ive got the basics running on my 130 display with a water volume of 150g. All my nutrient levels are currently undetectable, but I still don't have the colors that I want from my corals.

Zeolites are just started, running about 50l/h through them.

6 drops Zeobak everyday for the first 14 days

0.8ml Zeostart3 everyday for the first 14 days

6 drops Zeofood7 everyday for the first 14 days

Does this look good to start with or should I add more or less?

I will be posting some pictures of select corals to see if there is any difference!

I dose every other day, or I find I get brown algae growing on the glass. This was the suggested dosing on the Zeovit forum (they will tell you what to dose). So about half what the bottle says.
FWIW, I decided to really follow the dosing protocol properly, and for two months I haven't missed a day. I have noticed no change from when I dosed every other month

I think the zeo rocks are good, but the drops, meh...

Yeah I have been reading allot of the zeo forum, and dosing half seems to be pretty standard, so I think ill go along those lines.

Yeah I figured some of the stuff might not produce the results people say they do. But I have seen some pretty good results from the basic 4, plus a few of the additives, but the zeospur and a few others seem to cause allot of issues.

Here are a few quick shots for reference (sorry they are not the best)

There will be a few changes (removing a few colonies, adding a backdrop)

One of the corals I got from coral master, but it never amounted to anything! Ive just been to stubborn to throw away a $60 frag!

So now its going to be my main reference!
