They had a big sale on Zeovit stuff at brs. So it was like $15. I figured at that price it was worth a shot.

I can't resist the opportunity for a plug Sale is 25% off ZEOvit products and it recently got extended. It is now going through the end of the month.

Nice, I need some more coral vitalizer.

 

[BSchlecht]

Timed that well then

I only use the supplements, not the whole system. They work though. People that come buy my frags always ask why my corals are so bright and colorful.

Which supplements do you use without using the zeovit system ?

 

[BSchlecht]

I believe he uses coral vitalizer, sponge power, amino acid high concentrate, stylo pocci glow, and iron concentrate. Keep an eye out later, I am actually writing a blog post for this week with a list of ZEOvit supplements that can be used on there own and a quick synopsis of what they are supposed to do.

That sounds awesome! Lemme know. So far I was using coral vitalizer but I stopped because all I noticed was extreme polyp extension

Shouldn't be to much longer. It will be up at Bulk Reef Supply - Blog before the end of the day

Add peroxide

Do you dose H2O2 with lights out or can you leave the lights on? I've been adding H2O2 for the last week with no change, but I've left the lights running on their normal schedule.

Very useful article! Thanx

 

[BSchlecht]

Glad it helped! I am curious about the h2o2 as well. Haven't ever tried it myself.

Yea the only one I use is coral vitalizer due to the great polyp extension it creates. I don't know what's in it which I don't like but my corals seem to like it. The rest of the stuff listed I dose in other forms.

Yeah that is the tough thing about a lot of the products (frankly ZEOvit or not). Sometimes you just have to go off the results

Sad but true.

I suppose in their defense, there is some intellectual property they probably want to keep

If you're running a ULNS system and dosing carbon and phosphate and Nitrate test very low, is it possible to have a little bit of hair algae in your system or should you be COMPLETELY algae free?

My phosphates fluctuate between 0 and .03 and my nitrates are zero and I still have a small amount of very short hair algae on my over flow and I leave it to feed my CUC , tangs , wrasses ,tangs and my foxface because they LOVE ripping at it all day. Gives them something to do
