OK i have an established 30 gallon SPS tank and am looking to see if the zeovit system is right for me. On to the survey!
1. Gross water volume is 40 gallons
2. Net is ~30 gallons
3. No calcium reactor (is there such a thing for a nano?) kalk used in topoff through osomolator.
4. No PO4 reactor
5. No Ozone
6. No UV
7. Euroreef CS6-1, rated at 100 gals
8. Phosphate is typically undetected, Nitrate runs from 1-5 ppm
9. Ca is 450, Alk is 14, No idea on Magnesium
10. Barebottom, Grow macro in a barebottom fuge
11. 250 DE Halide pendant with 4 month old Giesseman 20k bulb
12. SPS dominated, few lps, zoos I couldn't kill
13. Tissue color is good and dark, just not as vibrant as I want it to be
14. Tank has been up and running in it's current state for close to a year, transferred material has been running for another year.
15. I want to use the Zeovit system to increase growth and color
16. No supplemental dosing except for kalk
17. 40 pounds of liverock, 1/2 1 year old; 1/2 2 years old
18. Algae in small tufts, not hair algae, bryopsis
19. I had a bryopsis in my tank's earlier stages but have battled it down to almost nothing. A few patches refuse to be killed.
20. Salifert Test Kit
21. No present zeo dosing
22. Salinity stays at 1.026, temperature from 79-80~, run carbon in the sump.
Thanks guys and I look forward to your results. I guess the other main question is if there is a calcium reactor small enough to work on a 30 gallon aquarium and not be just total overkill.

Be sure to read the ZEOvit guide several times to digest the workings of the system.[Stickies at the top of this forum] With ZEOvit, one has parameters that mirror those of NSW, therefore, plz. slowly reduce your KH to the 7-8 level before beginning ZEOvit. Plz. obtain a Mg test kit & aim for a level >1200, perferably 1300-1350. Your Ca level is a bit hi but OK--aim for 420. The original Knop Ca Rx will serve your system perfectly. You may have trouble maintaining the macro as nutrient reduction takes place with ZEOvit method--just pull it out as it dies.. Once your parameters are inline, I recommend the following zeo-dosages:
