Brent, how long have you been using this system? And do you honestly believe it has been worth it? The extra work and cost is worth it to me as long as the system works. I don't have any specific problems within my system I just want everything to be a little better.

I just started using it so am not a good person to ask. I have invertebrates but no corals in the tanks so far. So far I'm having a hard time mentally with seeing my tank cycle and having no ammonia peak at all. Everything is progressing normally and I have little / no algae.

There are a lot of people on the Zeovit site that seem to have good results. Has Jason been using it?

I decided to try it based on some of the testimonials of others. The way I figure it is, worst case, I turn my sump into a refugium and use the reactor for something else if I don't think it is delivering. The cost of trying it on a system as small as mine wasn't very high.

Zeo and the bacteria use will quickly elliminate phosphate. using Rowa can actually defeat the ability of Zeovit.

Can you please elaborate further or drop a link for me to learn more about Zeo and Po4 removal?
I just ordered 2lbs of Po4 removal in Chin's group buy ,do i need to cancel?
I am using both Rowa and ZEO products now and i do see some wierd things happenning

If you perform a search on www.zeovit.com you will come up with a tom of threads on not using Rowaphos or other phosphate removers. Unfortunatly there is not one thread that says do not use it

I read through the zeovit guide and it seems to be a fairly easy system once you get it going. I am wondering though what happens if a person goes on holidays or out of town for a couple days? The dosing of these chemicals seems to only be sufficient if done everyday.

[Jason McK]

Not really. I was away for over 2 weeks last summer and nothing really changed. I had my 'look in' person do some of the doseing but nothing that was required ever day

That's good to hear.

It does. Section 1 - Page 4 of 40 of the ZEOvit guide, 4th paragraph says not to use phosphate absorbers.
