I have been dosing my zeovit on the same schedule now for about 2 months on my 40 gallon tank and have relized that I am just dosing way too much and have been seeing overdosing signs and need to make a change (green glass and brown algae blooms also on the glass). I have been dosing with zeovit in total now for almost 8 months. After talking to Greg (Greg65) I have worked out a new schedule with him that I am going to try and then adjust as needed. Here is what I was dosing before and now what I am going to be dosing.
Zeostart1:
Was: 4ml a day first 2 weeks, 2ml next 6 weeks
Now: 4ml twice a week for all 6 weeks
Zeofood:
Was: 2 drops everyother day first 2 weeks, 2 drops twice a week next 4 weeks.
Now: 1 drop everyother day first 2 weeks, 1 drop twice a week next 4 weeks
Zeobac:
Was: 2 drops everyother day first 2 weeks, 2 drops twice a week next 4 weeks.
Now: 1 drop everyother day first 2 weeks, 1 drop twice a week next 4 weeks
Zeo Iodide:
Was: 1 drop three times a week
Now: 1 drop once a week
Zeo Iron:
Was: 1 drop three times a week
Now: 1 drop once a week
Zeo Amino Acids:
Was: 1 drop once a day
Now: 1 drop every 3 days
MacroElements and Zeospur2 are not changing.
I am cutting back because of the overdosing signs but also because the last time I dosed zeospur2 I saw no results and that is the first time that has happened. I am thinking because I am overdosing it is adding too many nutrients into the water and therefore the zeospur2 is not working. Instead of lowering my nutrients, by me overdosing I am actually adding to them. Hopefully by me cutting back my nutrient count will drop again and the zeospur2 will work again and the overdosing signs will cease.
