My experience with automatic filters is really limited so I hope someone else can give you some good information. Basically it is important to “move” the rocks enough in the cleaning process which seems not to be the case with all the available automatic reactors.

There is only one...

Just ZeoBac should be dosed daily for a 10 day period after each ZeoVit exchange, all other products are dosed as usual and do not need a adjustment. If your dosing system is not able to dose such low quantities you can dilute ZeoStat with RO water. Boil the water and let it cold down to room temperature...

There is not much you can do with the sand, lets continue to vacuum the sand regular at the moment, also adjust your skimmer to skim more wet and clean it daily to remove as much as possible.

At this stage I would not recommend to use ZeoSpur2, it can be used later once the corals tissue...

Kannst Du bitte genauer beschreiben was Du mit zerfallen der Produkte meinst und was MinS ist ?

Wie geht es denn den Korallen im Allgemeinen ?

Thank you for your update, when have you done the first ZeoVit exchange and do you still run the reactor with a 3 hour on/off interval ?

Please also measure the reactor flow, should be ~ 150 liters per hour.

Difficult to say what is responsible for the increase of nutrients but basically it also can be the “treatment” you have used as it might have a impact to the biology however if PO4 and NO3 does not come down in the next 2 weeks BioMate as Jacky said would be a good addition to your dosing regimen....

Hello Dušan, the ZeoVit material is a natural material so the weight can differ, it is better to measure the necessary quantity by volume while a little bit more or less does not play a role. After each ZeoVit exchange dose ZeoBac daily for 10 days, otherwise 2 x weekly. Always keep about 10% of the...

What you have observed with the high reactor flow especially at the beginning is common but the reason is still unknown. I expect it has something to do with environment changes especially a to quick decrease of nutrients which corals do not like. It is a similar effect if you put a lot of PO4 remover...

I have seen LPS corals side by side in natural reefs growing in the same nutrient poor environment as SPS corals so I would not say they basically need additional nutrients like PO4 and NO3. Some kind of LPS corals might but most are doing very well in a nutrient poor environment having the same growth...

I am not really experienced with Zoanthus but basically they should doing fine. I kept LPS corals in a nutrient poor ZeoVit system and they where all doing fine but basically the system was created to keep SPS corals in a nutrient poor system.

Hallo Bastian, bitte denke auch an die temporäre Reduzierung des Durchflusses am Reaktor, prüfen dabei PO4 regelmäßig, der Wert sollte nicht ansteigen.

Hallo Bastian, danke für all die Details, ein wirklich offensichtliches Problem kann ich nicht erkennen. Eine Angabe zur ZeoVit Menge habe ich nicht gefunden, ich gehe jedoch davon aus dass Du einen Liter im Einsatz hast was OK ist.

Um den Gewebeverlust zu stoppen würde ich als erste...

I am with Jacky, just ignore those two levels this will not cause issues. Just make sure to do a weekly water change with a well balanced salt of 10% to refresh the elements. Iodine should not be dosed based on water parameters, I would recommend to just dose it to improve coloration, usually 1 drop...

The way you have posted the pictures is perfect, no worry and thank you for sharing them with us.

Hallo Bastian und willkommen zu ZeoVit.com !

Um Dir helfen zu können wäre es gut weitere Details zu Deinem Becken zu kennen:

Congratulations for your graduation Nic !

Good luck with your new project and let us know if you have any questions.

I have always stored ZeoStart for my dosing system in a closed bottle with a drilled hole in the cap for the silicone hose of the dosing system, never have seen any kind of bacterial sediments or something you have in your dosing container at the moment.

I have prepared the dilution as...

Danke, bis auf NO3 sieht alles andere gut aus, ich kann den Grund für den erhöhten NO3 Wert nicht direkt erkennen.

Wie sieht es denn mit der Schichthöhe des Bodengrunds aus ? Hast Du schon versucht den Sand regelmäßig bei jedem Wasserwechsel mit einer Mulmglocke zu reinigen um die...

Es gibt z.B. von Söll ein Produkt Filternetz fein (2 Stück).

Die Idee mit dem gesonderten Fass hört sich gut an, ob es tatsächlich einen Vorteil bring kann ich nicht sagen ich denke jedoch dass es ausreichend ist den frischen Sand einfach in das Fass dass am Kreislauf des Beckens mitläuft...

[G.Alexander]

Not sure how long you have running the reactor with the correct flow but basically PO4 should start to slowly decrease after the adjustment. This is not a quick process but you should notice it after about 2 weeks. You can additional dose BioMate to decrease PO4 @ 2 drops / 25 US gallons every other...
