I am off of ZEO now...,

be carefull with flow rates.
Follow instructions to the "T".

here is my story.

I did all things right, when i started my tank:
RODI water, cycled the tank for 4 month, 6 month before i put any fish in it, good skimmer etc. I had perfect SPS tank with zero hair algae.
I guess it was a mistake to introduce ZEO in to the established tank.

Now after ZEO thing ....
I've red all ZEO forums and manuals many times and followed all but i just couldnt make this thing work ...
I lost $300+ worth of SPS in 4 days, and slowly got tank full of GH algae.
Tank is recovering slowly now.
Lets just say ZEO did not work for me. I gave remaning ZEO rocks back to J&L.

I'd love to see how it works for you... I've been thinking about going zeo on and off, but it seems like such a hassle... so if the results are there, maybe I'd get off the fence...

It's been just over 5 weeks now. Just about every thing is looking good. My green staghorn with blue tips and small frag of a green slimmer is don't doing to well. Started beaching, but got a test kit for Potassium and found the level to be low. Started dosing K balance potassium and they are starting to make a come back.
I like the resalt of using zeovit so far.

First day readings were
Mg 1300
CA 440
KH 7
PO4 0.03
N03 0.2
sality 1.025
temp 79-80

Todays test were
Mg 1300
Ca 440
KH 8-7.5
PO4 not detectible
NO3 0.2
Potassium 250
sality 1.025
temp 79-80
