Very cool setup. My only thing with zeovit is it seems to require so much additional equipment OR extreme manual dosing on the tank.
maybe I’m wrong as I don’t know anyone personally who has ran it. That is just what I’ve always heard.

Yes and no every system require dosing. If u don't want to add doser then u can manually dose it. U don't have to dose everything that they sell just for the foundation only 3 zeobak, zeostart3 and sponge power.

@ycnibrc How do you continue dosing when you go away for the weekend or vacation? I realize that many products can be automatically dosed, but what about the products that are typically manually doses? Do you have someone do that for you when you aren’t able to?

I dose most of them through dosing pump beside zeobak n Coral vitalizer. The only one u can dilute is zeostart3 however I bought the ghl doser so I can dose 4ml of zeostart3 per day without dilute with rodi. I might try to dose Coral vitalizer but with a bigger tube like the Maxi doser or the new ecotech doser. The new ghl doser has a good feature that u can reverse and drain everything back to the bottle so nothing stay in the tubing.

That’s fascinating I was going to ask about the refrigerated product sitting the tubing but that takes care of it

how is the mini fridge working out? I’ve thought about buying one to keep near my tank but reviews are all over the place.

I would like to point out that most tanks that I’ve seen using zeovit have pastel looking corals with the exception of yours. Is there anything that you are doing using zeovit or not doing that promotes this coloration in your corals

I run a higher nutrients level. Instead of zero ulns I run my po4 0.1 and po3 10ppm.
