Hi,
I ame running my tank for a little more that one and a half year now and run the zeovit system for about 1 year.
I never achieved low nitrate during this time.
The lowest point was a no3 of 4 but my bioload was lower at that time.
Now the No3 is slowly rising probably becouse I got a lot of fish and feed a decent amount (not as mutch as I'd like).
I feed about 2 cubes of frozen and 2x a bunch of pelets (+-1 teaspoon) a day and some nori now and than.
I got 2 tangs, 2 clowns, 5 wrasse, 1 brasslet, 1 goby, 3 chromis, 3x peppermint shrimp and a bunch of hermids and snails.
The tank is bare bottom with only a small box of sand behind the rocks for the wrasse.
I got about 22kg artificiall rock (aquaforest rock) and 3kg live added just 3 months ago to add biodiversity.
After not achieving low No3 I added a refugium to the tank in witch I grow cheatomorpha.
I harvest a handball sized amount every week.
As far as I know mixing the diffrent filtration methods is not a bad thing except when the zeovit is so effective that it starves the refugium.
The fleece roll of the theiling compact is being used in about 4 weeks.
The Skimmer is pulling out about 1,2 liter of smelly tea collerd water every week.
Still the No3 is rising steadely (10 points in 6 weeks) probably due to the latest addition of fish.
I really ame puzzled on the fact that zeovit handles No3 so bad.. or atleast for me.
With most carbon dosing methods No3 is being controlled easy.
Ame i doing something fundamentaly wrong with the zeo system?
