Using Zoevit product on a none Zoevit tank

nwkermit · Dec 20, 2015

I have been looking into products that might make my SPS pop. Few weeks ago, I came across Zoevit and the system sound amazing, but with 3 kids and full time job ....it will be hard to keep it as clean as the program requires. So my question is how effective is it to just use their product line like Zoevit Pohls Xtra, Zeovit vitalizer, Zeovit Coral Booster? I know it wont be perfect...but would it help my SPS? Or would it harm them?

I think you are fine to try one of the products out. I used their flatworm stop plenty of times, and I have never had flat worms...not as in it stopped me from having flatworms, but rather my sps seemed to love whatever was in it. I used it specifically to improve health of my acros, and not to stop flatworms...haha, two of my LFS stores do the same thing. so I would think any of their products would be fine to try out.

You can do vitalizer and flatworm stop for better health. You can dose AA and sp for supplements pohls extra for color just depends on what is going on with your tank will dictate how and what you can dose.

Depends on your tank. I run a high nutrient SPS dominant tank. I have great color in my corals, for some reason that I can't justify, I decided to try POHLS to give an extra pop to my corals. Should not have. It turned some yellows green, but the bad negative effects were a slime that covered the SPS. My SPS were probably expelling zooxanthelea or something. I had tissue necrosis and more. Stopped dosing the the SPS have recovered over time. If you're going to use a few of the zeo products, be sure to understand what it does in relationship to the tank parameters you have. Most zeo products are designed to be used in combination with other products in their brand. One will strip nutrients, the other will add nutrition as an example. It's about balance.
