Zeovit... Who uses it?

[steve fedyk]

I ran zeo for almost 1 year and it worked great for sps. It pulled allmost all the po4 out of my tank. Its a great system I think.
I got tiered of dossing once to twice aday, work gets in the way. The colours in some of my coarl got brighter and some died, soft coarls.

i dose amino acid, coral vitalizer, sponde power, and the xtra. ive noticed a lot of improvenment in my sps in color and growth rates.

I dose the full system now & the reactor... 2 months in and i have seen a slight improvement. Theres no set guidance with regard to dosing it's much more trial and error. I think i may be over dosing one or two products though as i have been getting a brown algae appear over the substrate. Could be my lighting though as the bulbs are due for a change...

I have committed to run the system for a year before i make any judgments though

I will say you dont NEED it but man the colour differance I have seen not only in my SPS but my Zoanthids makes me tell all my friends its hard to live without.

I use some Zeo products, some Fauna Marin and lately some Brightwell. I use the zeo/ultralith rocks in a DIY reactor, the carbon sources, bacteria, amino acids and also add some potassium. Until I started with the rocks and the carbon sources I was always battling nitrates and phosphates. Now, nothing.

Colors are very bright and growth is terrific. For about $1/day for my 200 gal. it is a very good investment IMO.

Nah, brown corals need lovin' too However, you do NEED metal halides.

I use the reactor, sort of, when I remember to swish things around, although I have nicer colors now than I've ever had. I've seen better colors in non-Zeovit tanks (read Jamie's tank), but for me, this works.
