We are talking about 2 minutes a day .To run the system you have 1 additive you dose daily & a few other components that dosed couple of times a day,everything is dosed in drops or very small milliliter amounts.
It is very easy to show anyone how to maintain the tank on Zeovit ,also asuming your tank is fully automated & you can leave it for a week or 2 ,even if you missed the dosing ,it is no problems ,you can start when you come back ,stopping the system completely will have no illeffect in anyway ,you will eventually get back to the same conditions before you started Zeovit.

Ok I'll let you know what my daily ZEOvit Schedule is.

keep in mind I have a net water volume of 300G

In the am I put 1ml of ZEOstart2 in the sump. aprox time to perform this 3 sec.


Evening. During fish feeding
1ml of ZEOstart2 (same as in the morning)
12ml of K-Balance (this is optional)

2 or 3 times a week
12 drops of ZEObak
12 drops of Zeo Food7

So it really takes no time as all. I find I need to clean the glass less often and I word say cleaning the glass took more time that an entire week of doesing.

Hope this helps
J

Wow those pictures are impressive. I think I am fianally sold on getting a zeovit system. I have been putting it off because my sump area is a very tight fit and I travel for work so much and have worried about the daily maintanence while I am away 4-5 days at a time. Maybe I can convince my wife her doing that for me is a trade off for the recent kitchen reno's. I assume the zeovit would solve my hair algae problem I have been battling?

I can tell you using Zeovit system , hair algae will be easily gone .
Convincing your wife to help you with your tank
That might be harder
In my case Girlfriend will make me regret asking ,doesnot matter even if I reno the whole place

I think I can convince her, now the question is can I fit one in my sump?

Fit a wife/girlfriend in your sump That wouldn't promote good water quality. Might be illegal too.

Well after seeing Jason's tank I'm convinced. I went out to Hidden Reef and Mike outfitted me with a starter kit. I will be installing it to my system starting this weekend.
