Aiyiyi! 30" tall? What kind of litre rating was it, that seems way larger than the 3l? (If so, where did you get it?

I have no idea what the liter rating was before, it was lots. I bought it off a canreefer(Drew) it was used by another guy who Drew bought it from. I am not sure what brand it is or maybe if its a DIY, but if it is DIY whoever built it has some serious skills.

I recognize it as the Proline as that's the same one I have too but mine is a 1l version (maybe 1.5l - but it just fits 1 bag). I thought it might have been a 5l model because the 3l is listed at 24" tall overall. But maybe it's the 3l version.

Are you looking at getting a bigger reactor for the new tank Tony, or are you thinking of running two smaller ones?

I am only on day 5 with zeovit but there is already an improvement in water clarity. There was no problem with water clarity before but now its just better. The other thing I have noticed is the glass does stay cleaner longer. Maybe there is something to this Zeo thing.

Does anyone know if zeo helps reduce bubble algae?

Seriously. That's awesome.

I knew Zeo would be good but on Thursday (after reading and talking about it here in this thread last Wedneday I put online my zeo reactor) and on Thursday I was thinking that my lights were brighter ... it then dawned on me it had to be water clarity.

I was thinking that one day had to be too soon to have such a profound difference.. although at the same time I put the reactor online I did kick off a water change so it could be due to that too.

Question, are you running carbon yet? I'm not sure what to think about the recommendation to run it passively but to also run it in a power filter to force water through it. So does that mean we can run it in a Phosban reactor or not? (For better for worse I'm running my carbon in one... )
