Ok guys, i decided to convert my tank from Zeovit to Aquaforest.
Reasons Why?
1. availablity of the products- i purchase my zeovit products online which costs including shipping fee and customs fee. aquaforest is readily available in my place and hence it saves me $$$ and im buying directly from distrubutor.
2. AF more easy to use- its simple 1 2 3 with no any redundancy and a simple reefer can know.
3. AF u know the content of what ur dosing compare to zeovit that it only tells how many drops and thats it. ( later only found out that zeospur was containing copper that strips the Z's and the label was like it enhance intense coloration). im a nurse in profession and we have this rule in giving medication to the patient that if u dont know what medicine ur adminstering then dont give it. so again its against on my principle.
4. im having good results in Zeovit but im feeling the longer im using it the more my tank is getting imbalance and its like a pile of dust that at any time with 1 wrong move then all will crash. Uncertainty kills me.
5. my Wife loves the Purple Packaging. =)

so i ordered the full aqauforest package.

Probiotic reef salt
PRo bio S
NP pro
Amino Mix
Vitality
Build
Energy
Zeomix
Carbon
Phospate Minus( i think i will not use it its GFO)
Components 1 2 3 ( there is powder form but will be avaialbe on 2nd week of february so il get the poweder form in my next purchase) its more cheaper for and good for bigger tanks.
Bio F.

Day 1 january 29 2017- i started to dose half zeovit and half AF- 6 drops zeobak,zeofood and 1.2ml zeostart(before its 2.4ml) pro bio S and NP pro 6 drops each
Day 2 january 30 2017- started to dial in my component 1 2 3. started 40 ml per day for each bucket and try to measure my kh everyday( it is where u base ur every day dosage of this comp 1 2 3)
Day 3 january 31 2017- i did a 20 percent water change with AF salt. ( i think my corals love the first taste of the salt. usually when im doing water change with Tropic marin they look very stress but with AF salt it looks nothing happened)
Day 4 feb 1 2017- checked my kh and its on the lowest side so i increase the dose of the comp 1 2 3 to 80 ml per day. and started now the Aquaforest ABVE ( amino mix, Vitality,build and energy) at 10 drops each to be dose on alternate days.

Beautifully crafted good sir! Keep us updated. Zeovit is scary to me, I was always told not to dose anything that you do not have a test kit for, so if you do not know what you're dosing then...

I'm definitely going to follow this thread, I love seeing short and long term results from someone who has changed up their system and to hear their conclusions.

Guys i was not able to update this tank. i took down this tank already. sold all of my tangs except the Gem Tang and Kole Eye tang, mystery wrasse. All Corals was fragged and removed from the scape and is doing well in a holding tank of a reputable LFS here in dubai.

i downgraded to a 220gal peninsula tank. here is the link of my build thread. thanks guys. my heart was really aching when im tearing the tank apart. me and my wife moved to a new apartment and instead of spending the money for a mover we decided to make a new tank. i gave off the 300 gal tank to my friend whos willing to pay for the mover and sold my equipments to him as well. so to make the story short i have a new project now and here is the link. enjoy guys.
