Zeovit

I am just about to order the Zeovit system and was wondering just how many people are using it (or a related product like Reef-Resh or ultra lith)?

Hi Shane

I have been using ZEOvit for 1 year now. My main tank (the 180G) is just under 5 years old and my second tank (the 125G) is just over 3 years old. Note that on established high nutrient tanks you start off at about 50% of the dosage for the first few cycles. My expense to date has been approx $1200 and that includes at least a 6 months inventory of ZEOvit product. My current dosages are a fraction of what is indicated on the bottles yet my results are great. I see other tanks around using the other mentioned products and their results are great too. I picked the ZEOvit system as my estimates showed that the ZEOvit system for my size of system (approx 500G) would be the most inexpensive.

For a better understanding of who is doing what you should setup a poll.

I'm Also running Zeovit for about a year and 3 months. I started just after my tank cycled. I agree with what Tom has stated and believe that most Bacteria based systems work in similar ways.
I've calculated my net water volum to be 300G and my current doesing is
6 drops ZEOBac every 3 days
3 drops ZEOStat7 every 3 days
0.6 ml ZEOStart2 morning and night
3L ZEOLith changed every 12weeks
That is the basic 4 and is required. I also add
Amino Acids 6 drops daily
Coral Vitalizer 6 drops Daily
K-Balance when needed to keep Potassium at or about 400ppm

Does everyone use carbon along with Zeovit, Ultra lith, etc.

[Jason McK]

It's required for Zeovit

HERE is a link to the Zeovit Guide. It should give you a good overview of Zeo

how do you keep the temp of water at 90 degrees Celcius for 24 hours. Or do you just heat it to 90 in the beginning.
Thanks for the guide Jason

[Jason McK]

90 C where did you read that?

In the guide on pg. 14 somewhere. I kinda thought I misread it, so i re-read it and that is what it said. Did anyone actually do that or did they just soak it for 24 hours.
Thanks
