    Hi Zeddy, & welcome to ZEOvit.com I do not know how long you have been using ZEOvit, but please, please follow the ZEOvit guide, expertly written by Alexander ****. In that text, the KH should be in the range 6.5-8 & stable. Your other parameters are fine. For your system which is still high in nutrients, I recommend the following:
    1)dose 1/1/2ltrs zeolites in a zeo-filter at a flow rate of 400l/h. Increasing the quantity of zeolites & flow rate will deplete your nutrients much better. Also try cycling the filter at 3hr. intervals to facilitate this. Change-out the zeolites every 6wks. & clean the stones 2x's/day
    2)dose1 Cup carbon ,passively, in a filter bag in your sump, kneaded 3x's/wk & exchanged every month.
    3)dose 2 drops bak/food every other day for 2wks. with new zeolites, then 2 drops each 2x's/wk. Dose these near your filter pump. Turn off your skimmer for 60min after dosing these.
    4)Obtain ZeoStart2 to help faciltate your biological zeolite filtration. Start2 is great brewage for this method. Dose .25ml Start2 2x's/day every day. It is not necessary to turn off your skimmer when just dosing Start2. If you notice a thick, brownish film on your panes, or air-bubbles/slime on your LR or sand then reduce all zeo-dosages by 50%. Do not dose any other additives at this period. Please keep us updated with your system, thnx. Bob

        Hi Zeddy, since you are new to ZEOvit, then do use just 1ltr. zeolite in your filter but use a flow rate of 400l/h, otherwise the above recommendations are appropriate for your system. thnx. Bob
