WOW! It seems like you are dosing a lot! 5ml of the top four seem high for everyday! What made you want to dose so much?

Snow and Xtra recommend right on the bottle 1ml/25G daily... if his system volume is 130G divide by 25G and 5ml daily sound about right. Pretty sure K & B Balance also recommend 1ml/25G Daily.

I recently started partial zeo, currently I'm using...

X-tra
K-balance
Snow
Sponge Pwr
Amino Acids

All at a little less than recommended doses except the snow, I put it in every other day.

I'm happy with everything right now, I plan to start using Stylo/Pocci glow soon cause I have 6 of those colonies and I'm going to start Coral Vitalizer because it seems to be highly recommended by other reefers.

I have noticed AA and vitalizer are notorious causing cyano. Are you experiencing the same thing?

'Notorious' is a bit of a hyperbole, no?

If you run ULN, you won't get cyano, AA, CV or otherwise.
