If you replace it with straight vinegar/vodka/peach schnapps/Sunny Delight, bad things happen.

I'd definitely give the Coral Snow/ZeoBak thing a go. It will help the overall reduction of nutrient sinks.

Well obviously...I wasn't asking about replacing it with Sunny delight or vinegar for that matter.

But many, many people are getting similar results to ZEO with VSV dosing. And its MUCH cheaper.

Amyways...I will try the coral snow/bak thing. Thanks!

I found when I ran zeo for the very first time I had one hell of a cyano outbreak, seems to be a common thing. I dosed coral snow and it cleared it up.

This may be why I didn't get cyano (at least, not yet). I've been dosing Coral Snow from the get go. 10ml daily, but I cut back a few weeks ago to 10ml once a week.

Cheers,

What exactly IS the coral snow?

That's the million dollar question

For all intents and purposes, it's miracle juice, haha.

I though sponge power was the miracle juice

[GreenSpottedPuffer]

Well all I know is that right now I need the miracle juice!

I don't have time to go grab the coral snow now but I will get some this weekend and see what it does.

:P

They'll get similar results as far as nutrient reduction goes. However, that is not the be all, end all of Zeovit (substate-based probiotic).

Later in the life cycle, you also the HUUUUUUUGE winfalls of pseudo-planktonic bacterial mulms which are released each time the media is agitated. This is the closest we can get to mimicking the natural bacterial-planktonic fauna found in the wild. Corals each this stuffffff. I've personally experienced massive polyp extension shortly after pumping a reactor, no doubt a response to the increased food stimuli in the water column.
