Funny you say that,because i don’t measure my Po4 (always had rowa in po4 reactor) and i had no hair algae before, but now that i am on Zeo for 3 weeks algae grows on the pumps and i dont like it.
I had rowa running with it too but now remowed and wonder what will hapen next?

1.5 days after removing Rowa and i can see hair algae disappearing !
Wow.
So i decided to put ZEO back on 3hr on/off timer just in case if change is to quick.

Side note; if ZEO rocks are so quick to remove Po4 it makes Rowa obsolete is it not?
Because ; ZEO rocks are chipper, lasts longer and you need less of it to remove phosphates ! The only draw back is a need for shaking though, and not too comfortable without special reactor.

What i am doing is that i have Zeo rocks in the regular plastic net from oranges and i have it in separate small container in the sump (small power head is for flow from sump in to separate small container that overflows back to the sump) with plastic rod attached to the plastic net/bag so this makes it very easy to shake.

I would recommend filling out this questionare. nd posting it @ zeovit.com. It is very helpful and then if you run into any questions the gang @ Zeo can help

1. Gross water volume of your complete system (incl. sump etc.)
2. Net water volume (incl. sump etc.)
3. Are you using a CaCO2 reactor or other technique
4. Are you using a PO4 reactor (how long, how long ago, etc.)
5. Are you using Ozone
6. Are you using UV
7. What skimmer are you using (type, rated water volume)
8. What are your actual PO4 and NO3 levels
9. What are your actual Ca, Alk and Mg levels
10. What filtration method do you use (refugium, DSB, Miracle Mud, etc.)
11. Type of light (Watt, color temp, how old, etc.)
12. What corals do you keep
13. Tissue color (light or dark)
14. How long has the tank been running
15. Why do you want to use the ZEOvit system
16. Any supplemental dosing (type, amount, why, etc.)
17. Live rock (how much, how old, etc.)
18. Any present problems
19. Problem description (tissue loss tips, tissue loss base, diatom bloom, algae, etc.)
20. What test kit do you use (how old, recently switched, etc.)
21. Present dosing, amounts and intervals (ZEOvit, ZEObak, ZEOfood, ZEOstart, ZEOspur2, etc.)
22. Other water parameters and water stability (salinity, temp, etc.)
23. Which salt brand do you use
