Zeovit

[Jason McK]

I'm Also running Zeovit for about a year and 3 months. I started just after my tank cycled. I agree with what Tom has stated and believe that most Bacteria based systems work in similar ways.
I've calculated my net water volum to be 300G and my current doesing is
6 drops ZEOBac every 3 days
3 drops ZEOStat7 every 3 days
0.6 ml ZEOStart2 morning and night
3L ZEOLith changed every 12weeks
That is the basic 4 and is required. I also add
Amino Acids 6 drops daily
Coral Vitalizer 6 drops Daily
K-Balance when needed to keep Potassium at or about 400ppm

Does everyone use carbon along with Zeovit, Ultra lith, etc.

[Jason McK]

It's required for Zeovit

HERE is a link to the Zeovit Guide. It should give you a good overview of Zeo

how do you keep the temp of water at 90 degrees Celcius for 24 hours. Or do you just heat it to 90 in the beginning.
Thanks for the guide Jason

[Jason McK]

90 C where did you read that?

In the guide on pg. 14 somewhere. I kinda thought I misread it, so i re-read it and that is what it said. Did anyone actually do that or did they just soak it for 24 hours.
Thanks

I read it again and it says to heat the RO water to 90 C then let the carbon soak for 24 hours while it cools. Makes sense now.

Was in a rush before, making dinner.

I am going to order my ZEOvit ASAP. Which brand of reactor is everyone using (Grotech, Captive Oceans, Octopus, DIY etc)? Does your reactor have a valve to adjust the flow rate? I think you need to reduce flow initially when starting on a high nutrient system. Any recommendations?
Thanks

[Jason McK]

I use the Goetech. Yes it has a valve to control flow

I use the Goetech. Yes it has a valve to control flow. I ran it about 1/2 open for the first cycle. Some people put it on a timer and run it 3 hours on then 3 hours off. If you follow this plan ensure that the ZEOlites are continually covered in water. They should not be exposed to air and allowed to dry out.
