Avast Marine Vibe for Zeovit Feedback

[BigHildy53]

I am looking for feedback from people who have experience with the Avast Marine Vibe using Zeovit. I want to try Zeovit with a new 180 gallon build. I wonder if the Vibe shakes the stones enough. The manual pumping mechanisms of other Zeovit reactors appear to really shake things up. Does activating the Vibe vibration pump several times a day "equal" the manual pumping of other reactors once a day?

Thank you.

I run mine for 1 minute twice a day (12 am and 12 pm) and get a good release that is enough to cloud the tank for a few minute.

Thank you for the feedback.

I concur. It handles the media very well. I have the 4L version. Using 2.5L of media. 2x per day, 1 minute each.

Do either of you run a UV sterilizer? Do you feel the Zeovit is effective?

Running Zeovit you cant run a UV Sterilizer or a fuge.

Zeovit is an interesting system, its a little touchy to get going on an established tank but on a new tank its pretty easy.
