Can i run ZEOvit in a biopellet reactor or an ordinary fluidized react

[CalebNg]

I have been wanting to get started on ZEOvit but am not sure if i can just purchase any fluidized reactor and run the ZEOvit stones in it. What is the difference then between a specialised ZEOvit reactor comparatively to any other fluidised reactor, eg: bio-pellet reactor?

Handle at top connected to chamber to shake/spin the stones.

Ah. Thank you . the handle will turn from the vortex the pump produces or it is there for the user to manually shake the stones from time to time?

[CalebNg]

Anyone able to advise ? Many thanks !

Since spinning the stones are important when running zeovit , i thought of using the hamster wheel style jns omega 1 reactor to spin the stones with centrifugal force. Any disadvantages to this ? Any zeovit pros able to advise ?

[tofubox]

Might be possible if u set it on timer mode, to spin once or twice a day for under a min. Do note that the stones are quite heavy and need a constant flow through it, so how u going to get constant flow with short burst twice a day to move the stone is going to be tricky

Actually cant you just put it in a media bag and shake once a day

I run mine in IM mini-max reactor. Everyday just take it up shake shake a bit. When go overseas for 8 days never shake also ok.

Hi bro, I'm also considering to get the IM reactor for either rowa or zeovit stones. Just wondering how isit working out for you? Any feedback?

I also thinking of adding a zeovilt system to future tank, and also google that it need to be clean every day... I dont understand what it mean by cleaning it everyday, does it mean take out the whole reactor and wash the rocks inside? pls enlighten me... thanks

I think it means 'cleaning' the zeolite meaning to shake the stones twice a day. There would be mulm building up around the stones so you need to shake them off and release them into your tank. These mulm contains bacteria that are used as food for the corals.

Thank for the reply, now I understand

dingding,

It works great as it allows you to take out and shake with out removing the pump, to me it is a brillant design. cheap also compared to a zeovit reactor. But it depends on the size of your tank. Mine is a 20 gallon so the flow plus the amount of stone is just right to but in a mini-max. If you have a bigger tank you will need either 2 reactor or a mid-size one.

Thanks bro~! Thinking of getting two mid sized one lol

FR can work... disconnect the FR and turn it up down up down up down x 20 times a day... to release the mulm... cheapo way but it works... tested and tried by others and myself...

Just to be honest... it is very lay chey... hahaha
