Maybe quitting Zeovit
Zeovit has been disappointing to me thus far. I get THE worst film algae on the glass and for the first time in my tank history, I'm constantly battling hair algae and cyano in certain areas of my tank, and bubble algae/valonia continues to grow. This AFTER starting Zeo.
It requires a fair amount of diligence, I've found, and I'm growing weary of the effort that returns no positive results. I've been researching other carbon-based nutrient-low systems and am intrigued by this. I understand the risks, but it looks much less involved, yet effective. What do you all think?

hey Drew i find that all the reading that i have been doing about ZEO is crazy alot of stuff to do for the pleasure of sitting there and watching it grow.. It's just alot of money to perfect you hobby.. may be im crazy or not dont get me wrong all all zeo users are getting the gains that they should. the start up is crazy unless you can DIY with some of the stuff.lke the reactor, all the supplements that you have to buy. but then you look at some people that say that their algae problem clears up, so does it work or does it not......

I used the Polyplabs for about 18 months and quit it for the same reasons. It worked at first then the tank became a film algae cesspool. Its much better now without.
