SRC Member andysho Posted September 16, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted September 16, 2004 After some dosing of zeovit, one or two of my acro start to show some purple colour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member killfire Posted September 16, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted September 16, 2004 Did you do any tests on water parameters? Any improvement from what it was before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewel Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 Hi, Do you have the pics and water parameters before you use the ZEOVIT system? And did you use the full range of ZEOSYSTEM products (i.e filter + additives) or just additives? For discussion purposes, IMO, i think it will be good to have pics and water parameters BEFORE, AND the progress/ changes AFTER using the ZEOVIT sytem over a period of time, while keeping other influencing factors constant. This is to ascertain whether the improvements are due to use of the ZEOVIT system. This is an objective platform for discussions and I am neutral, with regards to ZEOVIT sytem.

SRC Member Jimng Posted September 16, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted September 16, 2004 Yep, representative before/after pics (those taken on the same corals) will be very good, also the dosing schedule and the parameter changes will definitely be interesting....

lightningstrike Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 Hmmmmm....... andy, do u hv any lps or softies? coz i wanna find out if the zeovit (from my humble 2 cents, i think it works by starving the water paras of nutrients) will affect those other non-sps corals.

weileong Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 This is what I read from the zeovit website. The bacterial will convert the nutrients into biomass and this is skimmed out by the skimmer which is observed as more darker and higher volume of skimmate from the skimmers. The biomass are also consumed by the corals, this doesn't refer to the SPS but LPS and softies as well. I'm into the first week of dosing the zeobak, zeofood and zeostart. The water is observed to be crystal clear, never had the water been so clear before. One of my fiji purple acro which has brown out previously has been observed to be coloring up. But I need more time to tell. All other parameters and stuffs like feeding etc remains the same. skimmer output is a lot more compared to before dosing the zeovit. I am still on 50% of the recommended dosage so the full strength can only be observed after I go for 100% of recommended dosage. Will post more when i noticed any changes Quote Weileong's 4ft tank Part I Weileong's 4ft tank Part II Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member andysho Posted September 16, 2004 Author SRC Member Share Posted September 16, 2004 i do not have any previous picture before this one which i posted it here, however i will keep on monitor from time to time and take more pictures so that can make a compare my tank only house Sps no LPS~~ as for water parameter~~ still the same~~ however after dosing zeovit one, have to cut down on the dosing of trace elements if i am not wrong... I think for this product there are more information to dig and learnt from those reefers in reef central who also trying out this zeovit we still have to take care of our sps water parameters~~ even we have this zeovit stuff~~ just my point of view Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vili_Shark Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 Andysho What products of Zeovit are you dosing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member YzF Posted September 17, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted September 17, 2004 i wanted to try for my new system. heard DSB affect the performance of the Zeovit. Weilong you using DSB right? How about andysho? Quote YzF's Tank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member SharkBait Posted September 17, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted September 17, 2004 I think there are quite a number of reefers using the 2 together. The zeovit should still work but might take a longer time to reach nutrient poor status. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeepBlue Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 perfect for an almost bare bottom tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member SharkBait Posted September 17, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted September 17, 2004 Ideally, barebottom tanks would be good.No worries about tunze sandstorms too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member andysho Posted September 18, 2004 Author SRC Member Share Posted September 18, 2004 i use it with DSB too... yep heard that bare bottom tank is best , but too bad no way can remove the DSB unless a new setup again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member andysho Posted September 20, 2004 Author SRC Member Share Posted September 20, 2004 I use zeovit , zeobak and zeofood i think for two weeks or so i place my zeovit in my top sump area where the flowing pipe is will diy a reactor soon~~~ normally after putting the zeovit.. next day can see the water become more clear liao Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeepBlue Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 any significant changes yet??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member andysho Posted September 20, 2004 Author SRC Member Share Posted September 20, 2004 1st changes is the water become more clear after one or two days of adding the zeovit I thinkhaving a very clear water also help more light to pentrate into the water level which in thus help the sps also Last two days can see the polyps extending more then ever thought after my 3 weeks reservist come back all my sps will be gone case brown like crazy~~ but now showing a bit of improvement ..

DeepBlue Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 cool...I am reading up on this system as well..... would you be creating a system that is too delicate for any mistakes...like over dosing or under dosing....? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
