Following along, very interested in your take(read that as a seasoned old school reefer) on the Zeo system. I've never run it but have really appreciated the tanks of some who have. Best of luck!

Did you quarantine him before putting him in thank?Obligatory kid in the tank photo... Staring my grandson Parker
Skimz ZR157 automatic. No 'pumping' the rocks, over powered DC pump rinses the mulm clean twice a day. Seems to work well... I bought the bigger unit, I'm kinda on the line between them, and didn't want to buy undersized. Probably should have gone with the small one... oh well.Which Zeolite reactor are you going with? Looks good so far!
Any update on the tank? How are you liking the Zeovit system so far? Hope all is well.
So... KZ system startup proceeding... I did a worksheet to keep track. Yeah, it's complicated enough that I thought it necessary, or, depending on how you look at it, my memory is that bad
Wanted a shelf for the little blue bottles, so I stuck one together. Magnetic whiteboard... yeah, this is working.
Rebooted sump closet: Changed sliding doors to bifolds, much more room to get in there, and the humidity issue is fixed. Smaller sump. Reduced complexity. So far, I'm happy with it. No, it's not a showplace, but it's easy to maintain, without having to work from my knees.
Tank is coming along. Nitrates came up to 80+ by the end of Dr Tims bio filter process. Weekly 10% changes and the KZ startup has brought that down to a much more reasonable 20ppm or so.
Still no corals. I'm adjusting Calc/Alk and Mag to my intended ranges, slowly, using the DOS pump and Trident. Finally calibrated the Trident earlier this week. Man, that thing is cool
You can see where I calibrated... steady rise in Alk, it was always low. I've been bringing Calc up some since calibration. Haven't dosed Mag yet, but I will. Verified Calc and Alk with my Hanna Alk and Red Sea Calc tests. Close enough for me.
Oh... tank shot. As I said, no corals yet, but the 'clean' look of the bare bottom system with minimal rock is starting to grow on me
Zeovit has their own forum... it's a bit slow, but you can get responses from long time users. Not sure how helpful it's been, really, but it's there, if you get in trouble.Thanks for the reply. I am strongly considering this for a new tank, acro dominate, this year. The water is in and mixing so guess I have to decide soon, lol. Following along.
The automatic reactor sounds very nice. How are you liking it so far??
