Oh, and why do you have to agitate it and is there another way to accomplish this without having to shake it?

A zeovit reactor has a plunger for cleaning the material every day. Since teh Phosban reactor doesn't have a plunger you clean the material by shaking the reactor.
I have a TLF hanging on the back of my Red Sea Max with zeovit and carbon in it. Makes it easy to reach for the daily shake. ________ Honda VF750C Last edited by Brent F; 01-23-2011 at 06:29 PM.

It is not recommended to use any phosphate removal while on Zeo. Actually there is little need for it.
Zeo and the bacteria use will quickly elliminate phosphate. using Rowa can actually defeat the ability of Zeovit. You need to agitate it to remove the Muln (bacteria) to feed your corals J

well ****! I wish I would have known that before buying the rowaphos! So if I use the media do I have to use any of the other zeo line of products? It suggests using the media in conjunction with zeobak,zeostart and zeofood.

Yup...what Jason said. Flushes the "mulm" into the water column.

I'm using the rock with zeobak,zeostart and zeofood dosing acording to their guide. Everything I've read recommends using the 4 products together for the method to work.

Brent, how long have you been using this system? And do you honestly believe it has been worth it? The extra work and cost is worth it to me as long as the system works. I don't have any specific problems within my system I just want everything to be a little better.

There are a lot of people on the Zeovit site that seem to have good results. Has Jason been using it? I decided to try it based on some of the testimonials of others. The way I figure it is, worst case, I turn my sump into a refugium and use the reactor for something else if I don't think it is delivering. The cost of trying it on a system as small as mine wasn't very high. ________ starcraft replays Last edited by Brent F; 01-23-2011 at 06:29 PM.

I read through the zeovit guide and it seems to be a fairly easy system once you get it going. I am wondering though what happens if a person goes on holidays or out of town for a couple days? The dosing of these chemicals seems to only be sufficient if done everyday.

Not really. I was away for over 2 weeks last summer and nothing really changed. I had my 'look in' person do some of the doseing but nothing that was required ever day
