Question about restarting and dosage amount

[Brad Villeggiante]

Hey everyone:

Well, I am restarting my tank from scratch (I had some health problems and had to break the tank down until I was better) and want to know if the way I want to do my dosing is ok.

Instead of following the guidelines for starting the zeovit process I just want to dose what I was dosing before I broke the tank down, is that ok? I know it might take a little longer for things to get established but the bacteria and everything else should eventually get where they need to be right?

Here is what I was dosing before I broke the tank down. Anything higher and I got overdosing side effects.

This is in a 40 gallon tank

Bac + Food: 2 times a week

Zeostart: .4ml a week

Amino's: 1 drop a week

Zeo Iron: 1 drop a week

Zeo Potassium: 1 drop a week

Macroelements: 8ML a week

Hi Brad, you're dosing schedule is fine depending on their dosages, with the exception of Start2 which should be present in our reefs daily for feeding the zeo-bacteria. How was your coral appearance when you stopped ZEOvit?Could you plz. give us those dosing quantites that you plan to use? Thnx. Bob

Hey Bob,

I am still using Start1 (I only have a 40 gallon so this stuff last forever for me) should it still be added on a daily basis? My coral appearance was great. I dose:

Food + Bac: 2 times a week 2 drops each time

The rest of the dosing schedule when I stopped can be seen in my first post.

Hi Brad, I'd dose Start1 daily, at 3 drops/day. If you coral colors lighten, just cut the dose back to 1 drop daily. I do strongly recommend using C-V in a SPS tank, 2-4 drops daily. Keep us updated, Bob
