Hi,
April 2021 I moved to a new house and started a brand new tank. I started balling and carbon dosing but I'm having problems keeping nutrients in check. That's why I chose zeovid becouse I like the way ZEOvit works. Unfortunatly a lot of coral has died during transport, therefore the uptake of Ca/ALK/Mg is very low. At the moment I'm not dosing Ca/ALK/Mg.( Alk is drifting down 0,4DKH a week)
Here is some infromation:
1. Gross water volume of your complete system (incl. sump etc.) - US gallons / UK gallons / liter
±1250 Liter
2. Net water volume (incl. sump etc.) - US gallons / UK gallons / liter
±1000 Liter
3. Are you using a CaCO2 reactor or other technique
Balling Alk/Ca/Mg + Trace
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)
Deltec 2000i + Auto neck cleaner (1500 to 2000 liter)
8. What are your actual PO4 and NO3 levels
Before Zeovit: PO4 = 0,10 NO3 = 15,3 (Both hanna checkers)
After starting 5 days: PO4 = 0,16 NO3 = 14,5 (Both hanna checkers)
9. What are your actual Ca, Alk and Mg levels
Ca = 532 Alk = 8,8 Mg = 1537
10. What filtration method do you use (refugium, DSB, Miracle Mud, etc.)
Using only a fleecefilter (theiling roller mat the big one)
11. Type of light (Watt, color temp, how old, etc.)
Philips Coralcare Gen2
12. What corals do you keep
Soft corals, Montipora, Birdsnest, Goniopora
13. Tissue color (light or dark)
Overall darker color
14. How long has the tank been running
9 months
15. Why do you want to use the ZEOvit system
The carbondosing methed used before was not effective, had to feed verry little and dose a lot to keep the parameters in check, I want to be able to feed a normal amout to my fish and coral.
16. Any supplemental dosing (type, amount, why, etc.)
At the moment I only have ZEObak / ZEOstart / ZEOfood / Cyanoclean / KZ(Zeovit) Active carbon / Zeovit stones and Vertex reactor.
17. Live rock (how much, how old, etc.)
I have about 200kg rock in my tank and ± 20% is liverock from Indonesia, No sand!
18. Any present problems
Some red bacterial film om the bottem and some spots are dark green.
19. Problem description (tissue loss tips, tissue loss base, diatom bloom, algae, etc.)
Corals are doing oke
20. What test kit do you use (how old, recently switched, etc.)
NO3 & PO4 Hanna, Alk/Ca/Mg Neptune Trident. I have a ICP test on hand to test as soon as all the parameters are where I want them.
21. Present dosing, amounts and intervals (ZEOvit, ZEObak, ZEOfood, ZEOstart, ZEOspur2, etc.)
Tryed to look on the internet to find the best solution, Cyanoclean 20 drops/day , ZEObak 11 drops/day for 2 weeks, ZEOfood 20 drops every 3 days, ZEOstart 2ml/day (Neptune DOS), 1L(1bag) carbon passive in sump), 2L(2bags) ZEOvit in reactor (3h on 3h off cycle for the first 2 weeks)
I started ZEOvit 5 days ago.
22. Other water parameters and water stability (salinity, temp, etc.)
25,3 Celcius, PH 8,1 (average), 35PPT
23. Which salt brand do you use
Red Sea blue bucket
I would like to have some dosing advise, At the moment I am feeding my fish every day the same amount of food and phosphate are going higher and higher. Perhaps it is becouse I use Cyanoclean?
Sorry for my bad English and thanks in advance for the replies.
