A my friend would want an advice for his reef tank... for start with zeovit. This is his dates. thanks!
1. Gross water volume of your complete system (incl. sump etc.)--380 lt
2. Net water volume (incl. sump etc.)--300 lt

4. Are you using a PO4 reactor (how long, how long ago, etc.)--NO
5. Are you using Ozone-- NO
6. Are you using UV -- NO
7. What skimmer are you using (type, rated water volume)--AQUA MEDIC TURBOFLOTOR 1000 MULTI
8. What are your actual PO4 and NO3 levels-- PO4:0,5 mg/lt NO3:5mg/lt
9. What are your actual Ca, Alk and Mg levels-- CA 500mg/lt
10. What filtration method do you use (refugium, DSB, Miracle Mud, etc.)JOUBERT

He will need to test Ca/Mg/Salinity & especially KH & keep them as stable as possible. A Ca Reactor will help in this regard, but it not a must, as he could use 2-part solutions for regulating Ca/Mg/KH. He needs to be sure that his product water is pure--P04's-0/Silicates-0 & TDS<5. This can easily be done with a R/O unit but even better with a R/O-DI unit. With the ZEOvit method, the parameters are like those of natural sea water: Ca>400<450/Mg>1200<1400/Kh 6-8 & very stable. KW is not recommended with ZEOvit[increases "stored"-P04's]. For his system, I recommend the following:
