Hello!
I just started the Zeovit system 2 days ago and am noticing cloudy water. It's not so cloudy that you can't see through it, but its definitely noticeably cloudy, especially when looking the long way down the tank. I'm not sure if I should be concerned or not, or if I should look into UV sterilization. Your input is appreciated. I've seen two different guides for Zeovit that vary slightly, so your input on my dosing regiment would also be much appreciated.
Excited to join this active community, and thanks for taking a look!
