![]() I've been reading about the Zeovit system for about a week and seen lots a pictures a on how well it works. Thinking of giving it a try in the new year. Couple of the guys and gals at my LFS have been useing it for four mounths to just a couple of weeks. One just started the program about three weeks ago and said he saw a big differance in colour after two weeks.
Sounds like all you need is carbon a good skimmer and Ca reactor. Keep posting pictures on progress, thanks ![]()

![]() My biggest beef with Zeovit is the price of the reactor....because, really, it's the simplest construct in the history of DIY. But that's it--the results speak for themselves. I've also been thinking about trying Zeovit, so I'm also looking into making my own reactor.

I don't believe he has. I use the system at the store to great effect. I have a thriving tank full of Xenia, Acanthastrea, Kenya Tree, Acropora, Bird'snest, Candy Canes, yadda, yadda, you get the idea. All are thriving and I'm not operating on thin ice. GTG right now, but I'll be back later to post my experiences.

![]() I'm with Drew. The cost of the reactor is a bit of a turn-off but if you can get past that, the results do speak for themselves.

![]() So if I may question something, just as a point of discussion. We so many beautiful sps and mixed reef aquariums not running zeovit. Several stunning sps displays on here for example.
How would they attain this, without zeovit and what do they do different? If this product & others are able to help in such a manner, are the non users lacking something in their systems? Or are non Zeovit users not able to get the same colours in their sps corals, period. I assume this is because of superior water conditions for the corals from using this product. Anyways, just wondering. As this has turned into a discussion on zeovit, I hope the thread originator does not mind and if so I can split it and move the discussion portion to its own thread.

![]() My take on this is: you don't need Zeovit to run a successful tank. But you can use it to help run a "really successful" tank. For example, going back to Brad's thread about "not all live rock is created equal", what can you do to promote the ideal bacterial growth to consume nitrates and phosphates? If a bacterial based system can be managed to promote a low-nutrient system, then it can level out the playing field a little. Plus, encouraging the rampant growth of these bacterias to rapidly consume things like nitrate and phosphates and then be skimmed out via the skimmer, allows you to in turn ramp up your feeding, which in turn, has its own benefits (since ordinarily you're limited by the bioload capacity of the tank - so the limits are increased
