Nice... you gonna give it a try??

[untouchables]

i juz bought the starter pack... zeovit, zeobak and zeofood.

im gonna be monitoring the following:

a. phosphate (will check with red sea po4 test kit)

b. nitrate (will check with sera test kit)

c. skimmate (visual and based on observation)

d. clarity of water

e. condition of sps before and after

and keep my water at the following level:

i. ca = 400-450 (recommended is 400 for optimum zeovit effect)

ii. kh = 6-8

iii. salinity = 1.026

anything else u guys want me to monitor and report?

Best can take pics of same sps before so can compare the after effect....

Can pm me where you got the zeo stuffs and their prices....thinking of trying them also.....

Any idea where to buy the starter pack... zeovit, zeobak and zeofood??

May need more than the starter pack to get better results. ZeoSpur, Amino Acid, etc.

yeah i concur with that....

can i safely say that this whole zeothingy will cost around $600 in basic startup costs? monthly around $60-80?

[SharkBait]

The basic set is to create a nutrient poor enviroment, you will see the natural colours of the sps. The other stuff will bring out the colours even more.

start with zeolith,zeobak,zeofood7 and zeostart.can only get from the shop at balestier road.

using it for more than half year to maintain mainly A.hycanthus colony.

The basic set will cost $80 for the zeovit, zeobak and zeofood7. The zeobak and zeofood7 should last for quite a few months.

as per pdf info, zeobak is good for 6 mths if unopened. after it has been opened, the shelf life is approx 3 mths.

But thomas poyle has also said that as long as there isnt any smell coming from the zeobak, it can still be used. Once theres a bad smell, the zeobak cannot be used anymore.

Put the ZeoBak in the refrigerator. I used it for the start up only. After that, when I replace the zeolith, I retain 10-20% of the original and mix in the new ones and the bacteria(on the old zeolith) will start to spread and grow on the new zeolith.

Where did you buy them? any LFS selling? Can we see the pics of your tank before and after Zeovit...

[AlfaRomeo]

Welcome me to the experimental group of ZEOvit users. Have dumped in 1L of Zeovit in my Fluidized Reactor and dosed Zeostart/Zeobak and ZeoFood7 5 mins ago..

Hope I can see the effects soon esp water clarity

[DeepBlue]

I will be trying the system soon once my tank is up....

just look at this guy's tank and you'll be excited

check out this site for more info:

[lightningstrike]

very tempted to try when i come back!!!

[andysho]

welcome more zeovit users

never see the water so clear in my tank before

[Joe_P]

Will also try out the zeovit stuff soon....

Was actually thinking of placing the Zeovit media into filter bags and place them in high flow area of my sump...

[andysho]

thats waht i did too for my zeovit so far so good

[Joe_P]

Great... maybe go get some bags tommorow....
