globaldesigns is on a distinguished road

I think you need to look at the causes, rather than looking at a band aid to fix it like zeozyme or any other additive.

Can you explain your setup, I would like to know what type of flow do you have within your tank. Overflows, return pump, powerheads or wave makers, etc. Do you have a skimmer? What change schedule?

Many issues can be caused due to too much nutrients, poor water flow, etc.

Thanks.
