For a net water volume of 140 US gallons a reactor flow of 140 US gallons per hour is recommended using 1.35 liters ZeoVit. The calculation is done on the net water volume of 140 US gallons.

I have always used and recommended the quantities referring to the net water volume as the manufacturer has also done since the beginning. Can not tell you why this was changed.

Can you please additional post the actual PO4 level ?
Also do the affected corals stay in the system doing fine before they suddenly start to get darker tissue ?
Can you post some pictures which does show those corals ?
Are all kind of corals affected or just Montipora...Leave a comment:

If yo left out the NaCl free salt no, the regular water changes are able to balance it. If you use it it will not harm the corals directly, it will just darken the tissue of the corals even if nutrient concentrations are solid low. I am personally a fan of using a CaCO2 reactor to supplement KH and...Leave a comment:

Welcome to ZeoVit.com !
This has not directly to do with ZeoVit, lower K+ concentrations can take place in all kind of systems. A couple of years ago many salt mixes have had low K+ concentrations but this has changed over the time, also overskimming does remove K+ from my experience....Leave a comment:

Montipora corals are sensitive to lower potassium concentrations, have you checked the level already ? Do they just loose color or does growth also decrease ?

Lets keep your dosing plan at the moment, if most corals start to get lighter tissue while nutrients are stabile low it would be the right time to add products to improve coloration. Make sure to have the K+ level around 380 mg.

As much as I know the NaCl free salts which are used for the balling method are enriched with trace elements.

Not sure if I understand your questions correct but the nutrient poorer a system is the more sensitive corals are to elevated concentrations of trace elements. It would be the best to have their concentration close to natural seawater from my experience.
If a trace element solution is used...Leave a comment:

Doing to much water changes is not really possible but changing to much at once can cause issues. Personally I have never changed more than 20% at once and never had any negative response from the corals if a good salt is used.
Basically the water changes are done to add consumed elements...Leave a comment:

Perfect, I totally agree 👍
If you like to use a korallenzucht supplement K-Balance Strong would be the righ product but just increase the level slowly like recommended on the bottles label.

Not sure about the actual condition of your corals and the nutrient concentrations but if everything es OK you can continue to just dose the basics at the moment, reactor flow could be a little bit higher so ~ 200 liters per hour would be ideal.

The classical trace elements which are contained in most of the trace element products are added in a balanced way with the regular water changes. Basically the concentration which is needed by the corals is much lower than in systems running under higher nutrient concentrations so this works very well....Leave a comment:

You can dose BioMate @ 5 drops every other day for the next 2 weeks. If algae start to die off they release PO4 so if possible try to remove them before.

Thank you ~ 0.375 liters of ZeoVit would be the right amount for your system size. A little bit more does not hurt but I would not use more than 0.4 liters. For this quantity a rector flow of ~ 150 – 200 liters would be the right amount.
Lets adjust the dosage a little bit:

I would personally not do however if you like to give it a try make sure to just use a small quantity and increase it by keeping a close eye on your corals. Another alternative would be BioMate and / or CoralSnow Plus or just giving your system some additional time, I am sure it will come down over...Leave a comment:

I am right that your net water volume is ~ 100 US gallons or 400 liter ?
How much ZeoVit material do you use exactly ?

The additional trace elements will cause corals to get darker tissue even if nutrients are low which is counterproductive to the system. I would recommend you to stop dosing those elements once you start with ZeoVit and supplement Ca, Mg and KH with pure supplements.

Hello Chris, thank you for the additional information.
First start with the basics products to decrease nutrients:
1. Place 0.4 liter zeovit in a Zeo Reactor. Water flow around 160 liters per hour. Connect the reactor pump to a clock timer and run the reactor pump with a 3...Leave a comment:
