I can't give you an answer 100% (about the material in the picture), but I can say that using fresh and high quality live rock or natural materials is a good choice. If this is your choice, mix with some dry sand, this is very good. If possible, soak these materials in ro/di water in the same way...

[jacky]

I use Zeo's sand (aragonite), and I have no actual experience with live sand. Maybe the particle size of the sand is different, dry and wet, quality, etc. But most importantly, use dry sand. Some people use live sand in the ZeoVit system, a combination of algae and cyano occurs, but not everyone will...

Hello William L, relax, as G. Alexander said, this is also my initial guess. If you have an opportunity to soak the dry rocks of different combinations in ro/di water, check to see if it leaches nutrients.

If the nutrients are indeed derived from the dry rocks of different combinations,...

[jacky]

Due to (purification) and the use of Zeo basic products, the cleanliness of the water quality has improved, which indeed has helped reduce nutrients. Biological strengthening/upgrading, the relative NO3 naturally decreases

[jacky]

Sorry, I mean, sand (dry). Use crushed coral sand or aragonite. Do not use Live Sand with ZEOvit system. Soak the material in reverse osmosis water for 3-4 days before use, and change the osmosis water every day. If the PO4 level of water is close to zero, then ideally sand.

Fresh and high...

The use of some old zeolite materials is also a good choice, the acceleration has helped this process

Without high quality live rock, it may indeed take quite a long time before the biology is more stable

If this is your way, I will recommend you to use dry sand...

A little suggestion：

1.regarding bonding, it is not recommended to use cement, which is really not suitable.

2. It is also not recommended to use artificially processed materials, it is difficult to guarantee whether it leaches extra substances or toxins, resulting in the...

Perfect, from your narrative, this seems to reflect the current state of the tank

[jacky]

Very happy, it sounds like things are getting better. When everything is ready, execute # 2. System conversion, this requires some patience, and indeed to achieve the regulations inside, this is the safest shortcut

The net water volume 60 US gallons about 240 liters(The amount of zeolite material is about 0.6 liters)

Dry rock + tank is young, biology is not fully developed, it takes some time, let us keep the following plan, as reliable and stable as possible, if everything goes well, the coral appearance...

[jacky]

An additional 2 ml of CoralSnow / 25 US gallons can be added every other day. Temporarily stop Zeo Food. The current appearance of corals, nutritional supplement products are not required

What is the net water volume?

What is the complete Zeo basic product dosage plan?
...

[jacky]

After changing the material, please also remember Zeo Bac x10 days. After 2 weeks, if all corals are healthy, switch to continuous flow of 280 litres per hour. Please also keep the basic water parameters as close to NSW as possible.

I can hardly give you a standard answer, you can try to start with a 50% dose. Usually if everything is fine, coral tissue should gradually become lighter rather than darker. Can you show all the corals in pictures?

[jacky]

I don't fully understand the appearance of all current corals. From the pictures, the coral tissue looks deeper. If the coral tissue is really light in appearance, the nutritional products are very good. You can temporarily stop Zeo Food to see if the situation improves

[jacky]

Not sure about your complete Zeo plan and product. From the picture, I feel that the tank is young and uses dry rocks. This really takes more time before the biology is stable. Start with Zeo products to reduce nutrition, maintain the core foundation of Zeo, allow corals to grow more, and then start...

[jacky]

The tank looks young and seems to grow on those dry rocks? What is the NP level? What is the current complete dose? Some functional animals, snails, may seem good

Looks good, keep your progress updated. I have a question, why not use the correct amount of zeolite?

[jacky]

Yes, 2 drops of Zeo Sponge Power every other day. (Good biological side effects). 4 drops of BioMate every other day. (Support biology, reduce nutrition, reduce sediment)


The following is also very good based on the regular plan-

The first zeolite material is retained...

# 31, G. Alexander gave a small amount of materials to start, which is great. I think that if the corals are healthy, use the correct amount of zeolite material, the reactor flow rate to 200 ~ 230 liters, and keep on and off for 3hr. When starting to use zeolite material, 2 drops of Zeo Bac (14 days)...
