Published Tank or "Tank of the Month"

[Reefdom]

I am sure there are others that have mature - ish tanks on zeo that can offer help....

[Reefdom]

I have noticed that too. I started a build thread and realized that even after a week, i was the last person to document anything in that forum.

Oh well.

[Reefdom]

Is there a reason why there are so few showcased zeovit tanks on the forum. I love reading about how each person using zeovit runs their system, lighting etc. I wish there were more

[Reefdom]

Great, my dosing of Zeo Bac/Sponge Power is correct so over the next weeks i will increase the dose of zeostart..

How do i now if it is an overdose and what do i do if i overdose?...

[Reefdom]

Thanks Jacky. The plan is to increase the zeostart dose a little in a few weeks, probably to 0.3ml/day, and then again in another 2 weeks.

I dont feel there is anything to lose bu going slower and i want to protect my corals as much as possible.

I would agree that even with...

[Reefdom]

it wasnt changed, it was introduced as a half dose as i switched over from a system running a different carbon dosing product. So for the first 6 weeks i ran 50% zeolite and 50% zeostart.


With the change i have moved to 75% zeolite and as per G.Alexanders advice above, will continue...

[Reefdom]

I have made the change of zeolites now. I am running roughly 75%, 400ml. Flow rate is 144lph (measured)

The new corals are not due until next week so this gives a week for the tank to settle. I need to dose zeobak daily for 14 days now, is that correct?

Currently dosing in...

First change of zeolites complete. I have now moved up to 75% of the recommended quantity of stones. I also removed a lot of the smaller gravel sized pieces as they were clogging the reactor holes.I have drilled out the reactor holes a little larger to help flow through the stones rather than the water...

cyano almost gone but bryopsis has taken hold. There is a treatment, in Fluconazole that will ombat this but i have corals arriving in the next week or two so am reluctant to do anything to unsettle the tank either...

[Reefdom]

thank you. This sounds like a great approach. I have a few more corals coming shortly so i may delay the stones change a week or two to allow the new corals to settle in.

regarding my other question, what products should i avoid dosing together

[Reefdom]

are there any additives that should not be dosed together and why?

[Reefdom]

Thank you. i will allow the system to continue to run as is. The stones are due to be changed next week, would you suggest increasing the amount? I am running 50% zeolites and 50% zeostart dosing.

[Reefdom]

The tank continues to progress well using just Zeobak, Biomate, Sponge Power, Zeostart and Coral Vitalizer.

Still running 50% of zeolite and 50% zeostart which is keeping nutrients undetectable, even with 3x a day feeding. Cyano is reducing, however i have bryopsis. I will deal with this...

No aefw. K+ is 380 and has fallen from 410 in about 3 weeks....
