Hello.
After 3 years of failures with Zeovit 1.5 years ago, I switched to Tropic Marine and already after the transition I found a problem (leakage of electric current into the tank).
Now, after 1.5 years, I have an established aquarium with stable parameters and coral growth, but the colors are not the same as those provided by the zeovit system.
About a month before the replacement, on the advice of a friend and dealer of KZ, began to add KZ products in parallel with TM. Zeobak (2 times a week for 4 drops), Zeostart (0.3 ml daily), Zeofood and Sponge Power 3 drops every other day.
The day before yesterday I launched a zeolite reactor from KZ with 700-750 ml of zeolites. Flow according to the recommendation of KZ for Changeover of a stocked tank 50 l / h.
According to the same recommendation
- Zeobak 3 drops 2 times a week
- Zeofood 18 drops daily at the first week
- Sponge Power 3 drops every other day
- Coral Vitalizer - 3 drops every other day
- Amino SPS 3 drops every other day
- Amino LPS 1.5 ml daily
1. Gross water volume of your complete system (incl. sump etc.) - US gallons / UK gallons / liter - 320 liters
2. Net water volume (incl. sump etc.) - US gallons / UK gallons / liter 280-290 liters
3. Are you using a CaCO2 reactor or other technique - No
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) -KZ revolition S
8. What are your actual PO4 and NO3 levels PO4 - 0 (Hanna) NO3 - 1 or less (TM)
9. What are your actual Ca, Alk and Mg levels Ca - 412 Mg - 1340 Alc - 7 (all tests TM)
10. What filtration method do you use (refugium, DSB, Miracle Mud, etc.) - Tripic Marin NP Bacto-ballance and Elimi NP
11. Type of light (Watt, color temp, how old, etc.) T5 Aquatic Life fixture with 4 KZ lamps (2 blue, 1 white 1 fuji purple) Kessil A360UW (color 30 intensity 90 at max) 30 w handmade LED (blue channel 100, white/red chanel 40% at max)
12. What corals do you keep - 70% SPS 30% LPS.
13. Tissue color (light or dark) - hard to say
14. How long has the tank been running - 1 year 6 month
15. Why do you want to use the ZEOvit system - coral coloration
16. Any supplemental dosing (type, amount, why, etc.) - ESV A and B (Ca-Alc)
17. Live rock (how much, how old, etc.) 20 kg 3 y.o.
18. Any present problems - only coloration
19. Problem description (tissue loss tips, tissue loss base, diatom bloom, algae, etc.) - only coloration
20. What test kit do you use (how old, recently switched, etc.) Hanna for PO4, salinity, Ca,Mg,Alc, No2, No3 all Tropic Marin all new.
21. Present dosing, amounts and intervals (ZEOvit, ZEObak, ZEOfood, ZEOstart, ZEOspur2, etc.) - Posted above
22. Other water parameters and water stability (salinity, temp, etc.) Salinity - 1.025 temp. - 26 celcius
23. Which salt brand do you use - TM in the past, last month - KZ.
If you have any comments or suggestions, I will be glad.
Thanks Nick
