If it's that high, you're going to have to let it drop down. Zeovit does NOT work past dkH 7.8 or so. Just stop dosing any Alk supplements and monitor changes.

Also, ditch Biophos. Non-compatible with Zeovit.

Moose what kit are you using to measure alk. If it is hagen as well, then the alk may just be a bit on the low side (I forgot the conversion formula)

Jason I haven't used Zeo start I was told i didn't need it because my tank was established and you said I shouldn't need a phos lock at all? Is this right?

Marie I have been usinga hagen test kit I will be switching to Elos it's what I use for MG and Phos4
My other levels are monitored by GHL controller

Start is part of the basic 4 and is required. This is part of the carbon food source for the bac. It is considered one of the key elements of ZEOVIT.

It is recommended:
ZeoLith (rock) 1L per 200 to 400 litres of net tank volume
ZeoBac 1 drop per 25G daily for first 2 weeks after a Zeolith change. 1 Drop per 25G every 2 to 3 days after
ZeoFood Same as ZeoBac
ZeoStart2 2ml per 250G (1/2 in the morning and 1/2 at night)

All other Zeo products considered supplements
