I plan on switching my system to Zeovit, and originally planning to get the Skimz Zar automatic, but it seems they are sold out everywhere (might have gone out of business). What is everyone's experience with

AquaMaxx Zeo Reactor 1L
Bubble Magus ZF100

These two seem to be in my price range, so wanted to see which is the better option. Thanks

Unfortunately I can’t help much with this specific ones.
I read some reviews some time ago... and they were not very convincing. Anyway, hard to tell.

But, initiall I bought a Vertex reactor to run Zeovit... and in my personal opinion, I wasted money. No easy to open and close, hard to pump it.
Today, I’m using the one from Zeovit and I really like it. Easy to use and clean it.

If you allow me, one advice: go slow with Zeovit! It is an amazing system... but go slow!
Start with the basic: Reactor, Zeostart and Zeoback and nothing else.
Anything else later in the process, start with less than half of the indicated dose :)
In Zeovit, “more“ is usually never better.

Thanks for the advice. Yeah, i plan to go slow, with half dose of zeobak, with zeo start, but I also plan on using zeofood since these were the 4 "starter" ones recommended. After that, ill eventually go into the others, but for now these seem to be the pillar of the system.

Lucky for me, I was able to find someone selling the Skimz Zar 157, so let's hope that works well.

I switched from full Triton to zeovit about 6 months ago and haven’t looked back. I agree with using the zeovit brand zeovit reactor, its very easy to clean and use. Also agree with using the basic four parts of the system to start for several months before slowly adding the other parts. But my tank has never looked better.
