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

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

I read it again and it says to heat the RO water to 90 C then let the carbon soak for 24 hours while it cools. Makes sense now.

Was in a rush before, making dinner.

Default which reactor

I am going to order my ZEOvit ASAP. Which brand of reactor is everyone using (Grotech, Captive Oceans, Octopus, DIY etc)? Does your reactor have a valve to adjust the flow rate? I think you need to reduce flow initially when starting on a high nutrient system. Any recommendations?
Thanks
