Hello Zeovit,
I just started my Zeovit transition for my 150 gallon reef tank, set up since late 2016, 60 x 24 x 24 in (152 x 61 x 61 cm). The tank has lots of soft corals and I have struggled with keeping LPS previously. I’m looking to get things stable and start to grow some stony corals. I’m open to suggestions and recommendations.
1. Gross water volume of your complete system (incl. sump etc.) - US gallons / UK gallons / liter 175 gal / 660 L
2. Net water volume (incl. sump etc.) - US gallons / UK gallons / liter ~145 gal / ~550 L
3. Are you using a CaCO2 reactor or other technique - No
4. Are you using a PO4 reactor (how long, how long ago, etc.) - removed 2 weeks ago
5. Are you using Ozone - No
6. Are you using UV - No
7. What skimmer are you using (type, rated water volume) - Vertex 180i
8. What are your actual PO4 and NO3 levels - 0.05 ppm P04 (Hanna), 25 ppm NO3 (Salifert)
9. What are your actual Ca, Alk and Mg levels - 440 Ca (Salifert), 6.55 Alk (Hannah), 1420 Mg (Salifert), 450 K (Salifert)
10. What filtration method do you use (refugium, DSB, Miracle Mud, etc.) No
11. Type of light (Watt, color temp, how old, etc.) 2x Radion Gen 1 AB
12. What corals do you keep - an over abundance of mushrooms, Kenyan trees/Colt corals, recently added some Zoes and a green leather frag
13. Tissue color (light or dark)
14. How long has the tank been running - 4 years
15. Why do you want to use the ZEOvit system - to drive stability and reduce NO3 and PO4
16. Any supplemental dosing (type, amount, why, etc.) - none
17. Live rock (how much, how old, etc.) - 100+ lbs from a previous tank +5 years
18. Any present problems - Hair algae has been a problem but under control, some diatoms on sand bed.
19. Problem description (tissue loss tips, tissue loss base, diatom bloom, algae, etc.)
20. What test kit do you use (how old, recently switched, etc.) Hanna PO4 and Alk, Salifert NO3, Ca, Mg and K
21. Present dosing, amounts and intervals (ZEOvit, ZEObak, ZEOfood, ZEOstart, ZEOspur2, etc.)
Added Zeovit reactor 6/17/20 with 1.25L Zeovit 3hrs on-3hrs off cycle with 375 L/hr
Carbon 0.5L in bag in sump
Zeobak - 5 drops, 2x per week
Zeostart3 - 1mL/day
Spongepower - 5 drops, 3x per week
Coral Snow - 2x per week
not using yet -
Zeofood7
Biomate
22. Other water parameters and water stability (salinity, temp, etc.) 1.025 - 1.026, 77-79 F
23. Which salt brand do you use - Red Sea Pro, switching to Tropic Marine Pro Reef Salt
Thanks for looking.
