Hey Colin! I guess now that you took the plunge I will have to too. This keeping up with the "Jones's" is going to get me divorced. I guess I will just move into your house, we can combine our tanks. Keep us updated on the progress. Take lots of before and after shots!
PS. how is the blasto doing?
Keith.

I stopped by A.A today and picked up the following Zeo products; Pohl's extra, Coral snow, Sponge power, Amino Acid and Coral Vitalizer. I have an SPS dominated 90gal sumpless reef. I have started dosing as per instructions. Is there anything I should add, or subtract. I will add the reactor when the 220gal with 75gal sump comes on line.
Sorry to hi-jack your thread, Colin.
Keith.

hey keith i've learned that we should not be adding that stuff until about 4 - 6 weeks after using zeolite, zeostart, zeofood7, and zeobac. they say it may be ok to use the CV and SP but the others we should wait to add after the corals have started to lighten up.

There's no harm in keeping the latest revision of CV at room temperature or lower, but it definitely doesn't hurt to throw it into the fridge. The same can be said of Zeobak.

Hey Colin

Why don't you setup a tank journal and document zeo progress. I would be interested in seeing what happens. I know there is another zeo trial going on but the more info the better

Colin, I'm sure there will be others that despute what I will say. But...

Start with the basic 4 ZeoLith, ZeoBac, ZeoFood7, and ZeoStart. Leave all the other stuff aside until you have you changed out your ZeoLith twice. Really with a higher nutrient system (until Zeovit is established and working) your wasting a lot of those addatives
