hangon zeovit reactor

[Doug]

I was looking the other day but have not found one yet. {mines would be for Ultra Lith}.

Wondering if it could just be bagged and in my 110 powerfilter?

I've seen guys using the two little fishies phosban reactor for zeo on a small tank. You just need to take it off and shake it every day.

With Zeo the rocks must be covered with water at all times so i am not sure how a hang on would work unless you keep the flow on at all times. The way i understand it is the reactor should be run 3 hours on 3 hours off.

Not sure for the other system.

You are correct. Ideally you want 3 on, 3 off, 3 on, ect. This will get nutrients down much faster than constant on.

And yes, the rocks should never be out of water.

Only at the start of zeo should the reactor be cycled on and off... unless something changed that I don't know about?

Yes the first 6 months but many people keep it that way after that time. I was told by them that if the results are how I want them at 6 months of cycling to stay with the cycle. No need to change things.

Hmmm.. This is the 1st I hear about this.

I just programed my Profilux so that my reactor runs 3hrs on/off. Thanks!

I have been running ZEOvit for going on 2 years now and I run my ZEO reactor 24/7. It is only in your initial start up that 3 on 3 off is necessary. The rocks however do need to be covered in water all the time. If allowed to dry out the bacteria will die off.

Right...well if you read what I said, many of the ZEO users on the ZEO forum do stay with 3 on and 3 off even after the initial 6 month period.
