Can you tell us something more about the fish you have added (sizes / kind) and the actual water parameters including NO3 and PO4 also NO2 and Ammonia ?
Have you added any kind of some live rock or some material from a cycled system ?

It not a cheap hobby
It is important to do all dosing after the skimmer, in the case of ZeoBac and ZeoStart you can dose both in the same sump camber which does hold your reactor pump or in front of the pump. SpongePower directly in the display system in front of a pump.

Sorry this was a typo should mean 2/3 so if you dose 2 x 0.3 ml daily undiluted at the moment you can try to reduce the dosage to 2 x 0.2 ml temporary.
I would retry to remove the matrix material slowly step by step while keeping some old ZeoVit material passively flown in the sump instead,...Leave a comment:

Reactor flow is important so if you have any chance to measure it I would suggest to do to be sure it is really 300 liters per hour. You can additional try to reduce ZeoStart to 2(3 temporary while keeping a close eye on the PO4 level which should not increase, additional dose 6 drops BioMate every...Leave a comment:

Für die ersten Wochen sollten vorrangig die Komponenten zur Nährstoffreduktion zum Einsatz kommen:
1. Fülle 2 Liter ZeoVit in den ZeoVit Reaktor. Der...Leave a comment:

You have added a little bit to much
All dosing calculation is done on the net water volume of the system in your case 210 liters. Here you can find a description to the 14 day cycle method:

A NO3 level of 5 mg will not have a really visible impact to your corals however after one year the level could be lower. There are many reasons for a elevated level for example low reactor flow, heavy fish load, deep sand bed, mechanical filtration, small skimmer etc. Can you give us some more details...Leave a comment:

Coconut carbon is made from the shells of coconut and it can be used in saltwater however I would recommend do check if the carbon does leach PO4 by putting some fresh carbon in some RO water for a couple of hours, than measure the PO4 level of the water which should be zero.
I would recommend...Leave a comment:

I would additional recommend to soak a spoon of the carbon in some RO water for about an hour. Than measure the PO4 level of the water to see if the carbon does leach PO4.
Can you also tell us the PO4 level before you have started ZeoVit 4 weeks ago and what you have used before to get...Leave a comment:

Happy Easter Nick 🐇
Hope to see some pictures of the new corals soon once they have adopted to your system. K + could be a little bit higher, 380 mg would be ideal and Ca a little bit lower but it will not have much of a negative impact at the moment.

Sorry to hear but there must be something going wrong with your system since the beginning. You mention that corals turn green even if nutrient levels are solid low, this can be caused by iron for example. Sand for example can contain metal parts so lets try to move the magnetic side of your algae magnet...Leave a comment:

Good luck for your new keep my fingers crossed that it will work as well as the system you run at the moment.

Light is another important factor. Personally I had the best “natural” results for table acropora with T5 lighting compared to HQI but I have to add I never tried LEDs.

BioMate will reduce the PO4 level furthermore so it can be used additional to Coral Snow. Both will not have a direct effect to the algae but will support the process to get rid of them. You can dose 2 ml CoralSnow / 25 US gallons and 2 drops BioMate / 25 US gallons daily for 2 weeks. Additional remove...Leave a comment:

Thank you for the video, corals are still relative dark but the corals with fresh growth looking good so basically everything seems to be fine. I would give the corals some time until the tissue does get lighter slowly, in the meantime you can dose Flatworm Stop and Coral Booster 2 x weekly. I would...Leave a comment:
