To zeo or not to zeo

I likme zeo but it is easy to tire of it. I ran it for about 6 months at the beginning of 2008 and loved it.. then over the summer as every but the tank took more importance in my life I got off of it.

I started up again almost two months ago and I am enjoying it again.

It's just a commitment to keep up with the routine but I figure since we look at our tanks at least once a day it does not take much effort to put a couple drops of this and a couple drops of that in at the same time.

I agree, at first I hated the dosing routine but once I got used to it its really quite easy and takes no time at all. Its just a pain in the arse that the bak and CV have to be kept in the fridge, I always forget about those two

Christy what is your current Zeovit dosing schedule?

It's very strange that you still read nitrates

From my limited experience with zeo I bet if you stop the amino dosing you'll notice a drop

Sadly nitrates were 20 before I started with the amino dosing. I've started using nitrate destroyer to see if I can lower it with that.

Oh

Good Luck though

If you have a cannister try the de-nitrate...it does work...a hassle but it works

The new ones don't have to be kept in the fridge...
