I am really amazed at how quickly its taken care of the huge outbreak. Literally two doses and its 80% gone. I would say another day or two and no more cyano.


Much better solution in my opinion than red slime remover or especially lights out for a few days.

The guys over on the zeovit forum mentioned using zeozyme rather than coral snow at startup ... i havn't used either I used coral snow before i had a full zeo system though, worked nicely.

I'm glad the coral snow helped. It really helped me

I figured it would but not this fast. WOW. A whole sand bed of cyano almost gone in two days. Plus coral PE seemed better right after dosing coral snow.

I'm on my fourth day of dosing the coral snow with zeobak and its helping a lot as well

What are you doing with the ZEObak? Just dosing more?

I never bothered to increase the dosage or anything myself. Just dosed the coral snow.

I've been dosing 4 drops daily in about 3-4ml of coral snow.

Prior to this I dosed the zeobak separately, 4 drops 3x weekly and the coral snow about 2-3x a week at about 2-3ml.

I've dosed coral snow even before I started the zeovit regime as that and the coral vitalizer were what got me to switch from ultralith.

Oh OK, I see. I was told here to increase the Bak while using the Coral snow to deal with the cyano but on the ZEO forum, one of the experts there advised me that was really not necessary. I guess he said it wouldn't hurt anything but he wouldn't do it. I was told to just keep doing what I am doing but dose the coral snow.

For me this is working, so I am going to keep up this way until all the cyano is gone and then use coral snow twice a week.

Yeah I they told me that too but I refuse to pay the insane price of the ZEOzyme. The idea for me was to use the basic ZEO system to get my nutrients down and a FEW additives if needed. But also to keep costs down. I don't want to start dosing hundreds of dollars of products and be counting drops all day. IMO then ZEO is very inconvenient. I am already finding the 5 drops a day of two additives and 5ml a day of the ZEOstart getting old.
