I used the Reef-resh and didn't notice any problems when I stopped. However, I decreased the dose at the end just before I ran out.

Tom R - have you noticed any growth change using the Zeovit? I think there was improvement in my SPS corals with the Reef-resh.

I have a dumb question. What exactly is a low nutrient environment? I alternate between adding Reef-Roids, Coral Frenzy, PhytoPlex and ZooPlex every 1-2 days at the recommended dose taking care to prevent my nitrates from rising. I also add Kent Coral-Vite and Marine Essential Elements twice a week. Is adding all this considered a high nutrient environment? Should I stop all this if I start Zeovit?

If you start Zeovit Yes you can stop all that.
the 4 basic elements of Zeovit (ZeoLith, ZeoBac, ZeoFood7, and ZeoStart2) are all used to redoes Nitrate and phosphate form the system while also providing a food source for your corals. Zeovit continues past the basic 4 to enhance your corals via things like amino Acids and other trace elements. I do not believe it is the intent of the Zeo People to have all users using every product. but there seems to be a logical progression to the products you will try and the ones you will find you want to keep using

Right now besides the basic 4 I use: Amino Acid, Coral Vitalizer, and K- Balance. I have used Spur2 but find the results a little shocking.

What are you using for your Zeovit reactor? Are you using the GroTech reactor? I understand you can get in sump and external reactors. Are you using a 2.5 litre or 5 litre reactor? Thanks
