wow ok, I just connected the components to my mix reef tank. What would be the best combination of foods to dose? I'm thinking of AF Vitality, Amino, Build, Energy and Phyto mix.

Just please remember to start from 1/2 of recommended dosage with corals additives or even less if you don't have big biomass of corals. Observe corals , rocks and when all will be good rise the dosage. All changes in our tank should be done slowly. Corals should use to (learn) absorb new food and additives, tank should adapt. Great choice !

Sure. I actually started from 1/4 of the recommended dosage. for the reactor, I see you use Zeo, Carbon and Phosphate media together. I have a few anemones in my mix reef and I do change my carbon (bag) twice a week and I run rowa phos in a reactor(change every 6-8 weeks). How do you suggest I incorporate your media into my system. If I do add all 3 will I have to change media every two weeks?

Sorry I missed you question... you can change media every 3 weeks.

Thank you sever. Does Zeo helps with mitigating chemical reaction between corals and anemones or I do I accomplish that through carbon?
