I don't think anyone would start dumping in coral food without having any coral. I was also looking at Zeostart but it says to not overdose and my max dosage is only a 1/4 ml for my size of tank and one drop is apparently 1/2 ml. Anyone with any experience starting a new tank with zeo?
20 big drops makes 1ml and 24 small drops makes 1ml. 1 drop is not 1/2ml.

The 1 drop = 1/2 ml was just something I read posted on a thread at R/C, I am happy to hear that they are wrong. Zeovit just got way cheaper now! Have you ever tried the Zeostart 3?

That's probably the regular drops but zeovit's drop are a bit different from the typical eyedroppers. Here's the link:

You got that write. Zeovit is cheaper than many people think. For my 70 gallon, dosing basic 4s cost about $9.35/month (I showed the calculation in http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/sho...5&postcount=11).

I am currently dosing zeobac and zeostart with zeolite in the reactor. The guru in zeovit forum asked me not to start zeofood till the system reach ULNS. For dosing zeovit to nano, I would say Albert would be the right person to ask since I don't have experience about dosing the bacterial strains without zeolite.

Thanks for the link. I read your thread already, it's actually what got my mind thinking about zeovit again!
