Zeovit in a Nano (detailed update dec 5th)

[kwirky]

update: I swapped out 13 pounds of my "cooked" rock for 13 pounds of fresh rock last friday to try to follow the zeovit guidelines. I tested my nitrates on monday the 19th and they were 5ppm. I did a 10% water change which should have dropped the nitrates down to 4.5ppm.

I tested the water today, 2 days later, and nitrates are 2.5ppm. That's a 1ppm drop in 2 days if you don't account for the water change! At the beginning of the zeovit run I turned the lights on for 2 days and a bunch of fiber like algae about 1/8" in length showed up in the upper regions of the tank. Almost overnight tonight the algae's dissapeared! I'm running the lights full bore ahead now hoping to get some nice coraline growth.

There's something to this zeovit!
