What's your take on zeovit?

Reactor is a one time cost so I didn't consider that (plus fish street came out with some great reactors that have good review and are around $100 which is almost equal to two boxes of prodibio; probably the amount that has to be used because you see any difference).

Time is a variable that cannot be judged. Plus, from the looks of it, you only need about 5 minutes every day at max (dosing gets lower to weekly dosing once everything gets under control) which is not a big deal to me. I spend way too long staring at the tank :P

I guess if you run or want to run an ULNS then it would pay. For me I like just cracking a couple of vials a month for my mostly LPS system.

I spend about 45 seconds every other day, so not a huge investment in time. Takes longer to wipe algae off the front glass.

True that! You run a full system right Brad?

Yes, although often the "lazy" version I can't compare it to not using it as I started the tank with it. I get good results, so I guess I'm happy with it.

Thats basically the idea. Don't want to start it all the middle of the tank being matured. Better to start early

And your "lazy" version doesn't have much impact right? Like missing a week worth of dosing and stuffs?

Honestly, I've left it 2 months without doing much other than stirring the media. Then I followed by three months of not missing a dose. Didn't see much difference -lol
I think the zeorocks have a lot to do with keeping the PO4 and NO3 down.

I'm gonna be following this thread. I've considered getting a zeo reactor with the rocks in the past but just been too lazy to do the research. I stopped when I got to the part where it says not to run if running a refugium. But yet my refugium is not for growing any algae but strictly pods.

Yah....zeolite are probably the most important part for keeping those down.
