ZEO weekly water changes?

[lobsterboy]

i did try the deltec salt as well, it was ok, but nothing like what i had seen in the purple digi, and when using the deltec, i found that i was losing color on the sps. then had went back to the KZ salt and it took about 2 wc;s to get back what i once had.
i cannot tell you the science behind what makes good salt. and your right "its so hard to know whats making things better once you start ZEO" if your looking for an answer to this and have time, stop using zeo for a month or 2 and see if there really is a difference.
all tanks are different, and there are so many factors involved.
best thing to do is email KZ and i have in the past, and ask a few questions and get it right from the horses mouth.

How do you know the salt is making the difference? Not saying your wrong (not going to argue with the results of your tank ) but its so hard to know whats making things better once you start ZEO. Which in the end really doesn't matter--if its working, keep doing it and be happy I have just had a hard time figuring out what is working and why...I stopped with coral snow for a week and a half and got cyano, so I am quite sure it does help with cyano. I guess I could go back to the KZ salt now and see what happens.

I have been very happy with the Deltec salt and with stick with it but I was just curious as to why so many water changes. As time goes on and this tank matures, I will be doing less.

I may also grab some KZ salt and use both. I actually did mix them together about 50/50 for a month awhile back. I think I will do that again.
