Hello,
I am seriously considering to switch to Zeovit system for my Red sea reefer 170. But I am not sure how I can safely and slowly switch. It will be great if someone can guide me throught this process and I really appreciate that!
I did some research for Zeovit reactor here in the US and feel the options are fairly limited for my small tank. Are there any suggestions for my tank volume described below? And another probably stupid question: I didn't valve for a lot of reactors (e.g. Bubble Magus Reactor, AquaMaxx Zeo Reactor), is it possible to adjust flow rate for these reactors and how to do that if possible?
1. Gross water volume of your complete system (incl. sump etc.) - US gallons / UK gallons / liter Red Sea 170 (Display tank 130L, Sump 25L)
2. Net water volume (incl. sump etc.) - US gallons / UK gallons / liter ~130L
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) Nyos 120
8. What are your actual PO4 and NO3 levels PO4 undetectable with Red Sea algae control test kit; NO3 5-6 ppm with Red Sea algae control test kit
9. What are your actual Ca, Alk and Mg levels Ca 405, Alk 7.7, Mg 1350
10. What filtration method do you use (refugium, DSB, Miracle Mud, etc.) refugium with Chaeto
11. Type of light (Watt, color temp, how old, etc.) 1 XR30 G5 pro
12. What corals do you keep sps dominate with some sps
13. Tissue color (light or dark) dark
14. How long has the tank been running 6 months
15. Why do you want to use the ZEOvit system growth, color, replicable of success
16. Any supplemental dosing (type, amount, why, etc.) Red sea AB+ 5 ml/day for coral
17. Live rock (how much, how old, etc.) 30 ponds, half fresh live rock, half dry rock
18. Any present problems Yes
19. Problem description (tissue loss tips, tissue loss base, diatom bloom, algae, etc.) Tissue lossing tips before I lowered Ca 475 Alk 8.7 to current level. Things seems slow down but not major improvement yet.
20. What test kit do you use (how old, recently switched, etc.) Alk hanna checker, Red sea test kit for NO3, PO4, Ca, Mg.
21. Present dosing, amounts and intervals (ZEOvit, ZEObak, ZEOfood, ZEOstart, ZEOspur2, etc.) No
22. Other water parameters and water stability (salinity, temp, etc.) Salinity 1.026, temp 25.4 C
23. Which salt brand do you use Red sea pro + Two little fish AccuraSAea1
Many thanks!
