Start with zeovit

[NZ-Nick]

Good morning

jacky maybe you can help me with my spectrum

i have 2 hybrid lamps 8 bulb and x 3 75 watts led that i put them at 50% instensity (led)

as bulb combination i have x2 ati coral plus x4 ati blue plus and x2 actinic i run them 8 hrs a day

here are the led setting



yes my tds is 0 and last stage is resin


alaxander yes the photo looks like that, at the moment i only using the below

zeovit
zeostart
zeobak
sponge power
corla vitilizer

and yes you we use the link is correct

I would recommend contacting Pacific Sun,

-for you led spectrum
-they also have there pre programs, BAIL, Fiji, which they designed the lights around from there on water testing
Are you using there program

They use to suggest
Pigment NT and Cystal blue (there bulbs) which is similar to C+ and B+ which you are running

Thank you, have calculated the dosing regimen for a net water volume of 650 liters, lets start as follows:

1. Place 1.6 liter zeovit in a Zeo Reactor. Water flow around 650 liters per hour. Connect the reactor pump to a clock timer and run the reactor pump with a 3 hour on / 3 hour off / 3 hour on interval. Please make sure the zeolite is not exposed to air while the pump is switched off. In about 6 weeks you can switch the reactor to continuous flow if corals are doing fine. Clean the material daily. Leave the zeolite 4 weeks in the filter until you do the first change out. This is the first changing interval, others could be lengthen to 6 – 8 weeks.

2. Place 0.65 liters activated carbon in a filter sock and keep it in a passive water flow in your sump, changed every 30 days. Knead the carbon daily to keep the surface clean. Most users get perfect results with korallenzucht carbon.

3. Dose 7 drops ZeoBac daily for the first 2 weeks, flowed by a 2 – 3 x weekly dosage of 7 drops. Dose 0.65 ml ZeoStart 2 x daily (morning & evening). Dose those in front of the Zeo reactor pump while it is switched on.

4. The additional dosage of some food source for the corals would be fine so you can continue to use Xtra and CoralLove as you already do, stop dosing the other products for the next couple of weeks.

Adjust your skimmer to skim wet, keeping it clean to export as much as possible. Do a weekly water change of 5 – 10 % with a good salt.

Keep using aquaforest np pro and aquaforest phos minusat 50% at the moment, start reducing both slowly step by step in about one week until you have removed / stopped them completely.

Basic water parameters looking good, try to keep them as solid as possible close the NSW in the following ranges:

KH 6.5 – 7.5
Ca 400 – 420 mg
Mg 1250 – 1300 mg
K+ ~ 380 mg

For a nutrient poor environment K+ (potassium) seems to be a important element. I would recommend you to get a test kit for this element also, posting your results.

This is a start-up dosage which might have to be adjusted later.

aa ok now i understand yes i am still using nppro bio s and phos minus all at half dosage as i am removing slowley


thanks

[G.Alexander]

Looks like you are recently use two AF products:

aquaforest np pro
aquaforest phos minus

Is that correct or do you use any additional products from them ?

It would be important as it will have a impact to how the transfer to ZeoVit should be done.

[Macci09]

my parameters are

no3-0
po4-0,01
kh 7,8
calc 430
mag 1350
pottasium 410
iodine 0,045

G. ALEXANDER i dont know if i understand you well. i am using everything from kz zeovit. i have just transfer from af to zeovit and now i am asking if i can go full system. i apologise about my english

[jacky]

I have no experience with LED lighting, really sorry. The part of the tube is white ati coral plus x5, blue x2, and purple x1. With the spectrum of the Led, it should be good. (Listen to see other people's better suggestions).

Net water volume - 700lts , then the dosage I mentioned in # 24 is wrong.

Please also reconfirm that actual base water parameters including potassium concentration should be kept stable at NSW levels

「If I understand your question correct you plan to transfer your system to full ZeoVit while you use some of the products (your dosing plan) already but not the ZeoVit material ?」

Thank you for the additional information and pictures. I have a question to the plating Montipora corals, do they have partial thin tissue or is it just a effect of the pictures ?

If I understand your question correct you plan to transfer your system to full ZeoVit while you use some of the products (your dosing plan) already but not the ZeoVit material ?

Are the following information still correct and can be used for a dosing recommendation:

SPS coral tissue looks creamy, this may be a spectrum imbalance, the lighting should be as good as the natural spectrum lighting, and it may also be an element problem, each time 15% of the water is changed 3 times in 10 days to balance way to refresh/replenish elements.

Zeo Bac 10 drops (2-3 times a week)
ZeoStart 1ml x2 (every morning and night)
ZeoSpongePower 10 drops (every other day)
Zeolite material: 2.5 liters
Reactor flow: 1000 liters per hour
KZ carbon 1 liter (passive flight)

Cyano on Liverock: Please also check the filtered water, TDS is 0, it is recommended to use resin material as the last channel of the filter, CoralSnow20ml+ZeoBac10 drops x7 days.

Temporary suspension of iodine addition

[Macci09]

tested with Hanna po4 is 0,01 and no3 0

here are some photos of the corals

about seostart sorry i write it wrong on the sheet

[G.Alexander]

Can you please share the actual PO4 and NO3 level, also please define “colors are not as I wish” a little bit more precise, some pictures might be helpful also.

In your above dosing regimen the ZeoStart dosage is much to high. The correct dosing quantity for a net water volume of 1000 liters would be 1 ml 2 x daily instead of 7 ml daily.

G.Alexander

[Macci09]

its been 50 days since i start. now i notice that colors is not that i wish. i thing it start in full system.

below its a daily sheet. can you please help if this is ok and what i need to change

[G.Alexander]

To be honest I would also recommend to wait until the material does arrive, if you like to you can start dosing some of the elements you already have, can you post a list of what you already have ?

I don't have experience with other brands of zeolite so I can't say anything, I would suggest you to use Zeo's zeolite, it might avoid some unknown problems, or it might be ok, but I really don't know.
