If you do not have algae issues I would dose ZeoFood Plus as follows:
20 drops 2 – 3 x weekly
The drop size of the different products does differ so there is not a general rule to convert drops to ml. If you like to be sure it is the best to measure it individual per product....

Hello Devin, glad to hear things are turning around. You can start to dose additional products to improve coloration once your corals start to get lighter tissue because of the nutrient reduction while they show healthy growth. If you already have those products you can start to dose then at this stage...

The material does for sure speed down the flow so if you have a chance to measure I would recommend to do. The two products you have named are great products once the system runs nutrient poor stabile to improve coloration an health to the coral. You can use them later, XTra is a additional possibility....

Thank you, lets try to clean the filter bags daily for some time, that is what I have done religious in all of my systems even they where running without detectable nutrients.
The right reactor flow is important so if it is to low nutrients will not be processed effective, if it is to high...

Welcome to ZeoVit.com !
I would recommend you to cycle the system as described over here:

As you do not use live rock the cycle will take additional time so some patience will be necessary but the steps for...

The increase of PO4 is weird as you have not really changed anything in your system otherwise starting ZeoVit. Do you have a chance to measure the ZeoVit reactor output which should be ~ 100 liters per hour. You can measure it by collecting the water form the outlet for 30 seconds with a small container,...

Hello Rick, basically it is the goal to remove the PO4 absorber however if you do this all at once you will experience a quick increase of PO4 in your system which is not ideal. It is better to remove 1/3 of the PO4 absorber at the beginning and than reduce the rest of the quantity step by step to zero...

Hello Craig, I would recommend to stop dosing PO4, let the level decrease and even if it is not detectable your corals should not suffer. If the PO4 level keep constant low you can additional reduce the dosage of ZeoStart to 2/3 of the recommended quantity.
Because of the NO3 level there...

Woher das Al kommt kann ich nicht sagen, ist das künstliche Gestein ggf. die Quelle ? Ich habe mit den Steinen leider keinerlei Erfahrung.
Bezüglich der Dosierung würde ich ein paar kleinere Änderungen vornehmen:
Erhöhung der ZeoVit Menge auf 1.4 Liter, etwa 2 Wochen später...

Danke für die Bilder, ich denke nicht dass es vom Zeolith kommt, es gibt viele Analysen von Backen die im den letzten Jahren gepostet wurden bei denen Al nicht erhöht ist.
PO4 ist mit 0.11 mg ebenfalls noch etwas hoch, ich denke auch dass die Konzentration einen negativen Einfluss auf...

Not directly, I do not want to say dose ZeoBac and you will never get Dinos. The biology of a system which is also important to the corals coloration and health is not just created by ZeoBac, many other factors are involved but I would say if you do not use any kind of material (technical equipment,...

Before doing a plan to treat them it would really be important to know what exactly it is as the treatment are really different. First step is to improve the quality of your RO water as you have already planned.
Your dosing regimen is basically fine, I would just recommend to split the...

Personally I never had issues with Dino***gelate even in my systems running for years with undetectable PO4 and NO3 levels except at my last system which was caused by a piece of hose leaching any kind of harmful substances. After removing the hose the problem went away within one day.

Have you used or removed a PO4 absorber before starting with ZeoVit ?

Hallo Alex, der Link funktioniert. Ich würde vielleicht den Salzgehalt geringfügig auf 33 %o erhöhen, das hat aber mit den Gewebeverlust nichts zu tun. Aluminium ist hoch, könnte ein Problem sein, die Frage ist woher das kommen kann ?
Jod würde ich mit 1 Tropfen / 100 Liter 2 – 3...

Welcome to ZeoVit.com !
As you already mention I would go with a automatic reactor and a dosing system for ZeoStart. The rest of the products can be dosed manually when you are at home. After each ZeoVit exchange every 6 – 8 weeks ZeoBac should be dosed daily for 10 days, this might be...

Thank you for the pictures but something is wrong, the pictures are not very clear so I can not see the stuff very well. Do you think those are cyanos or any kind different algae ? This is important to know as cyanos are bacteria which are totally different from algae also in their treatment.

Hallo Alex, die Analyse scheint in Deinem Post zu fehlen. Jod würde ich nie nach einem Testergebnis dosieren, es ist im Meerwasser nicht besonders stabil und zerfällt relativ schnell. Ich würde stattdessen die Korallen als Parameter zur Dosierung dieses Elements verwenden. In der Regel reicht eine...

Welcome to ZeoVit.com !
Not really optimal that the system does contain fish already as you can not use the high initial dosage which is usually recommended to cycle a fresh system. The ZeoVit quantity you use is correct, make sure to have a flow of ~ 100 US gallons per hour through the...
