Ecoaqualizer
Tunze wavebox
4200 GPH sequence return pump.
Reeftek calcium Reactor.
Grotech Zeolith (will receive on monday)
Phosban reactor x 2 (1 running activated carbon, 1 running rowaphos)
Lights: 3x250 watts Hamilton w/14k hamilton bulbs.
Corals: SPS frags, Acan, Xenia, Leather toadstool, Ricordea.
Latest problem: None.
Reason to use Zeovit: more color SPS, healthy Environment for the corals in fish.

Please let me know how much Zeolite should i use and what is the gross water volume in my tank. Should i use 2 liters or 2.5 liter.

Thanks

Steve, if your sumps are only half-full, estimate net volume at 200g, therefore, 2ltrs. zeolites are to be used, at a zeo-filter flow rate of 200gph. Grotech zeolites are not the same as ZEOvit zeolites & should not be substituted in place of ZEOvit zeolites by Korallen-Zucht, Bob

I'm not sure if i understand your explaination sir. I bought the Grotech Reactor and all the Media from Scottw. What is the different between the two

[gqjeff]

You have the right stuff Rookie if bought from Scottw..


Peace, Jeff

How do i adjust the pump in the Grotech reactor to get the correct flow? My reactor came with the pump.

[Spur2]

Can i run activated carbon in the phosban reactor chamber. Just carbon

[Aged Salt]

Steve, yes, you can run carbon in a filter...very slowly though[~50-100gph]. You'll need to place a valve between the pump & the zeo-filter if the pump exceeds 200gph--ask Scottw regarding flow rate of reactor pump. Bob

Thanks Bod, You are a great man.
