Zeovit and ULNS with dinos?

[iMemphis]

So I assume with the ZeoBak, creating a strong and healthy bacteria in the tank, should help out compete dinos?...

Sonny Since you added T5 the same time, do you think it's worth just completely removing it for now and use the other light? (unless the t5 is the ONLY light that is being used? Or is it supplemental). I would see if you're able to remove as much of the variables as much as you can, so you can easier...

I recently switched to Zeovit and running ULNS with 7.3 Alk, 420 Calcium, 1250 Mag, 1-5ppm Nitrate, and 0.01-0.02 P04. While I know Zeovit is very controlled dosing and so on, they recommend running close to zero for both Nitrate and Phosphate. Wouldn't running both near zero potentially bring upon...

[iMemphis]

is running so closely to 0.01 phosphate worrisome?...

Hello G.Alexander

I've been doing zeovit for about a week now with the following parameters:

7.2-7.4 Alk
Calcium 420
Mag 1260
Nitrate 5ppm
Phosphate 0.01

Here is my following dosage:

Description:ZeoBak - 4 Drops daily

Thanks Alexander. You've been extremely helpful....

To confirm, Sponge power doesn't need to be refrigerated?...

i was also reading the zeo guide, and anotehr option they proposed was to do 200g (of the 1000g) for the first week, then add 200 more, etc until it hits the 4-6 mark. Is that another option? Or is using 1000g all at once, and staggering 3 on 3 off, the better option?

Also, I just got my...

Thanks for the update. G.Alexander What's the rationale for using the reactor for 3 hours on, and 3 hours off? During this time frame, I assume I would still flush / pump the unit each day correct?...

It seems that I won't be able to get the Skimz reactor, since they might be out of business. Is there any other reactors that would work? In the mean time, if I put the Zeolite in a bag, can i place it directly in my sump, until I can get a reactor?...

1. Gross water volume of your complete system (incl. sump etc.) - US gallons / UK gallons / liter - 110g (total volume)
2. Net water volume (incl. sump etc.) - US gallons / UK gallons / liter - 139g
3. Are you using a CaCO2 reactor or other technique - No
4. Are you using a PO4...

Thank you for your response....

So a friend of mine convinced me to start using the Zeovit program and looking through the Zeovit media. My question would be, is this really needed? My tank has strong filtration (Protein skimmer + Clarisea Filter roller mat) so it takes out a lot already. Is there benefits on running a skimmer, Filter...
