Hi,
i have and still do have a keen interest in Zeovit. My question is, do i need the stones to run Zeovit if my parameters are good/acceptable.
I currently have AAHC, AALPS, Coral Vitalizer, Bio Mate but not used them. I do use Zeobak, Cyanoclean and sponge power.
I manage nutrients by Tropic Marins NP Bacto Balance which is a mild carbon source with added organic and inorganic phosphate and inorganic nitrate to prevent zeroing out levels. It also contains some cationic trace elements. My dosage is very small (0.3ml) and manages my nutrients quite well.
I would like to add in the additives i currently have but as i am happy with my nutrient levels it would be good to know how best to add them in.
Can zeolites be run in a bag passively to reduce effectiveness as i already have low levels and not necesserily keen on undetectable.
My main goal is to improve growth and eventually colouration, and incorporating the additives i have.
1. Gross water volume of your complete system (incl. sump etc.) - 290 Litres
2. Net water volume (incl. sump etc.) - 230 litres
3. Are you using a CaCO2 reactor or other technique - Kalkwasser
4. Are you using a PO4 reactor - no, never have
5. Are you using Ozone - no, never have
6. Are you using UV - no, never have
7. What skimmer are you using - Deltec 600i (rated for 200 litres -600 litres)
8. What are your actual PO4 and NO3 levels - Po4 0.024, no3 1)
9. What are your actual Ca, Alk and Mg levels - 7.5, 450, 1350
10. What filtration method do you use - Filter socks and organic carbon (Tropic Marin NP Bacto Balance)
11. Type of light - 8x39w ATI Sunpower Dimmable
12. What corals do you keep - Acropora with some LPS (Goniopora, Lobophylia, Micromussa, Euphyllia)
13. Tissue color - Mid,not light but not dark.
14. How long has the tank been running - 10 months
15. Why do you want to use the ZEOvit system - involved method, keep in tune with tank.
16. Any supplemental dosing - Sponge Power (clear water, Tropic Marin A- and K+ trace elements, 0.02ml, Potassium (to maintain parameters), Zeobak and cyano clean (to clean some cyano and bacteria diversity)
17. Live rock - started with dry rock (marco rock), roughly 15kg
18. Any present problems - a little cyano on sand. Brown buildup on rocks over the course of the day. Small amount of algae
19. Problem description - ony above. Corals are ooking well and encrusting
20. What test kit do you use Salifert for all other than p04 (Elos)
21. Present dosing, amounts and intervals zeobak 1 drop 2x a week,cyano clean 2 drops every other day, sponge power 1 drop 3x a week
22. Other water parameters and water stability - 35ppt, 26.2 degrees C
23. Which salt brand do you use - Tropic Marin Pro Reef
