Tell us about your tank.
Please give us answers to the following questions in order to get more accurate dosing recommendations.
1. Gross water volume of your complete system (incl. sump etc.)305 gallons
2. Net water volume (incl. sump etc.)250 gallons
3. Are you using a CaCO2 reactor or other technique yes calcium reactor with 10-13%zeo mag granulate
4. Are you using a PO4 reactor (how long, how long ago, etc.)no
5. Are you using Ozone no
6. Are you using UV no
7. What skimmer are you using (type, rated water volume)mr4 dual beckett 1500 gph
8. What are your actual PO4 and NO3 levels both undetectable although no3 has been 1-2.5 recently
9. What are your actual Ca, Alk and Mg levels ca405 alk7.5 mg1260
10. What filtration method do you use (refugium, DSB, Miracle Mud, etc.)
2 refugiums and dsb
11. Type of light (Watt, color temp, how old, etc.)3-400w 6700k 2-175w 20k one year old changing soon might change color temp to 10k 400s and 20k 175s
12. What corals do you keep sps,lps,soft
13. Tissue color (light or dark) dark
14. How long has the tank been running 2 years
15. Why do you want to use the ZEOvit system sounds good if you use it right, and lighter colors
16. Any supplemental dosing (type, amount, why, etc.)b-ionic mg, calc chloride, (ph buffers rarely)
17. Live rock (how much, how old, etc.)250 lbs
18. Any present problems no
19. Problem description (tissue loss tips, tissue loss base, diatom bloom, algae, etc.)
20. What test kit do you use (how old, recently switched, etc.)salifert and lamotte all less than one year old
21. Present dosing, amounts and intervals (ZEOvit, ZEObak, ZEOfood, ZEOstart, ZEOspur2, etc.)zeovit 1.5-1.7liters 90 gph, zeobak 10drops per day,zeo food7(10 drops per day), zeo start2 (1.5ml 2xs per day)aalps 4.5 ml once per day.
22. Other water parameters and water stability (salinity, temp, etc.)
I know there are a lot of questions. Please be as detailed (and honest) as possible and feel free to elaborate on anything else you think may be important.
I just started zeovit reactor and dosing today.I still have refugiums and kalkwasser reactor hooked up. I'll be getting rid of the algae and probably the kalk water reeactor. I have my skimmer and carbon in my main sump and the zeovit reactor in a smaller low flow sump265 gph, is this ok to do. Are the supplements I 'm using to raise my ca, alk, & mag all right to use on zeo I hopefully can stop with the mag dosing when the mag granulate starts to maintain my target level I started the mg granulate today to. I also have quite a few fish 25-28 3 large tangs 4 anthias the main waste machines I feed twice per day various frozen foods. a litte slime algae appeared recently which was when the no3 became slightly detectable I think it was over feeding with flake which I stopped now. my tank is 225 gal , 3sumps:50 gal rubbermaid, 18 gal sump, 7 gal little sump maybe 5-10 gallons more with skimmer reactor and plumbing. Should you dose aalps and aahc at lower rates when using both or do you not need to use both. any suggestions in dosing regimine or about anything at all would be much appreciated. Thanks

This is a wonderful method with very little maintenance. Your correct in that KW is not used with ZEOvit. I want to emphaze the importance of thoroughly reading all material in the stickies at the top of this forum. Your parameters are fine. I would recommend the following for your system:
