Here's my dosing schedule it's really simple even my wife can do it! Lol

ZEOVIT SCHEDULE
Monday:
* 3/3 drop Xtra
* (0.2ml) Coral Snow
Tuesday:
* 1 drop Sponge Power
Wednesday:
* 3/3 drops (0.3ml) Xtra
* (0.2ml) Coral Snow
Thursday:
* 3 drops (0.3ml) AA LPS
Friday:
* 1 drop Sponge Power
* (0.2ml) Coral Snow
Saturday:
* 3/3 drops (0.3ml) Xtra
Sunday:
*Water Change
* (0.2ml) Coral Snow
*(0.2ml) Zeo Start
* 1 drop Coral Vitalizer (night)


I actually started dosing when I tried the nano pack. I just wanted to absolutely minimize my algae in the tank and have thriving corals as well. Safe to say that softies, LPS and sps are all doing well even tho I don't have a full zeovit system per say.

I've decided to pick up the nano pack. May I ask how you started dosing? I think I will alternate morning night and every other day so Day1 AM Pols Day1 PM Sponge, Day2 AM Vitalizer Day 2 PM AA LPS, or something to that effect as the Dosage formula indicates I could dose almost every day. Do you have any recommendations as to what products work best when?

that sounds pretty good. except its recommended to only dose coral vitalizer after lights out. Phols, SP & AA LPS can be dosed when ever. But I prefer to dose them in the morning right when I wake up.

You'll notice your polyps being extended more and not just at night but all day as well.

Good luck :)

I have broken down this tank and moved everything into a NUVO 16.

:) just to give more room for acro colonies and for the borb.

Nice tank, Zeovits really works. I'm guessing with a weekly water change no needs for stones to control phosphate and nitrate. Love those colors.

i loved the spec, but don't you think even the nuvo is too small for a borbonius? i mean its typically recommended to keep them in no less than 100 gallons?

He's the main fish in the tank aside from an orange spot goby. The borb is about 3" from nose to the tip of the tail. They get about 6" max size but it'll be awhile til he's that big. They mainly recommend such giant tanks for these guys is for beginner to intermediate aquarist who will undoubtedly over feed their tank to their hearts desire. In turn possibly crashing the tank. Live aquaria suggests 55 gallons atleast if housed singly, again to help aid in buffering water chemistry. I've observed it to be a very peaceful fish often hunting for things in the rocks. And by all means it's not stressed out at all even eating like a pig. But he'll enjoy his life for awhile in the 16 gallon til I'm able to build my final 180 gallon tank.


I've rambled too much. Over all I'm just gunna say I know what I'm doing! Lol it's not like I'm gunna add a sunburst in there or something ;)
