![]() Is ZEOstart just vinegar?

![]() No, it is a proprietary mix of acetic acids and other carbon sources which are formulated to nourish the manifold of bacterial strains found in ZeoBak.
If you replace it with straight vinegar/vodka/peach schnapps/Sunny Delight, bad things happen. I'd definitely give the Coral Snow/ZeoBak thing a go. It will help the overall reduction of nutrient sinks.

But many, many people are getting similar results to ZEO with VSV dosing. And its MUCH cheaper. Amyways...I will try the coral snow/bak thing. Thanks! Last edited by GreenSpottedPuffer; 01-28-2009 at 08:14 PM. |

![]() I found when I ran zeo for the very first time I had one hell of a cyano outbreak, seems to be a common thing. I dosed coral snow and it cleared it up.

They'll get similar results as far as nutrient reduction goes. However, that is not the be all, end all of Zeovit (substate-based probiotic). Later in the life cycle, you also the HUUUUUUUGE winfalls of pseudo-planktonic bacterial mulms which are released each time the media is agitated. This is the closest we can get to mimicking the natural bacterial-planktonic fauna found in the wild. Corals each this stuffffff. I've personally experienced massive polyp extension shortly after pumping a reactor, no doubt a response to the increased food stimuli in the water column.
