I've been dosing sponge power, and vitalizer for a few months. I'm not continuing with the vitalizer. I'll continue with sponge power for now, but I don't like dosing something when I don't know what it is....so I'll likely stop this eventually also.

That's it for my participation in Zeovit at the moment.

i don't believe i'll be going into the actual zeo system, but my plan is to use trace elements, sea water complex, coral snow, and pohls extra. so far i'm very satisfied with trace elements, i've never had this much polyp extension than what i have now, i also noticed it brought out the greens in my sps.

Just adding ZeoStart2 to your tank will do nothing but increase algae growth. The exact opposite of what you want.
ZeoStart2 is a food for ZeoBac.

ZeoLith, ZeoBac, ZeoFood7, and ZeoStart are the basic 4 components of the Zeo system. They work together and will do nothing as individuals.
Zeovit does have several components that can help lower nitrates Like ZeoLife
But ZeoStart2 I'm afraid will not help you

I don't think you can use just the start. You need to use the bak and food also. The dosage for the start is 2 ml per 250g actual water, but you have to start slower than that. If you want to start dosing you should visit the zeo site and ask either g. Alexander or aged salt.
