For those only running partial Zeo what are you dosing?

[fkshiu]

I seem to remember a thread like this recently, but can't find it. Anyway, I'm not ready to go full blown Zeo, but want to experiment with some of the individual bits. What are others dosing and how much?

I'm shifting from SPS more to LPS/softies/zoas.

[Sebae again]

I use amino acid for polyp extension for sps and for lps such as candycane.And Sponge Power for colourization.That seems to be all they need. 4 drops of amino each night into my 20 gal sump of my 90 gal tank and the same with Sponge Power every second night.

I would use the AA LPS, heres a link. When I first started zeo i had softies and LPS and had used it with great results.

Man, this Zeo stuff isn't cheap. But I guess you only have to add a drop or two at a time.

[Sebae again]

yeah,but for my tank it lasts many months. I think I buy it twice a year.

[lobsterboy]

for everything i dose, i think it works out to be under 20$ a year.

I have used AA, CS, Sponge, Xtra, glow. I also have vitalizer but rarely use (red slime algae outbreaks).

Take it slow, making sure also use CS to control the nutrient when using those.

For my tank(aprox 130g total system volume,mixed reef) I dose

5ml k-balance
5ml b-balancs
5ml Xtra
5ml Coral Snow
5 drops Coral Vitalizer
5 drops Amino Acid
5 drops Sponge Power
5 drops Stylo-Pocci Glow
5 drops Kaliumiodid-Flour
every day

5ml Strontium Komplex
2-3 times a week(because Tailored Aquatics Calcium contains strontium now)

What about dealing with cyano? I've recently had an outbreak.

WOW! It seems like you are dosing a lot! 5ml of the top four seem high for everyday! What made you want to dose so much?

Snow and Xtra recommend right on the bottle 1ml/25G daily... if his system volume is 130G divide by 25G and 5ml daily sound about right. Pretty sure K & B Balance also recommend 1ml/25G Daily.

[JDigital]

Forgot to post my own..

35G system:
Coral Vitalizer - 1drop
Coral Snow - 2ml
Pohl's Xtra - 1.5ml

Thinking of adding K-Balance, AA, and Sponge...

[fishytime]

Yup... pretty much just following the recommended dosage. I say mixed reef but for the most part its sps dominant.

LOL, its 20$ a month, thanks BI

I recently started partial zeo, currently I'm using...

X-tra
K-balance
Snow
Sponge Pwr
Amino Acids

All at a little less than recommended doses except the snow, I put it in every other day.

I'm happy with everything right now, I plan to start using Stylo/Pocci glow soon cause I have 6 of those colonies and I'm going to start Coral Vitalizer because it seems to be highly recommended by other reefers.

[ElGuappo]

i started aweek ago and notice a huge difference in growth already. i picked up a nano pack small bottles of amino acid, pohls coral vitalizer, sponge power and pohls extra. i use reccomended dosage almost the same as dougs.

I have noticed AA and vitalizer are notorious causing cyano. Are you experiencing the same thing?

'Notorious' is a bit of a hyperbole, no?

If you run ULN, you won't get cyano, AA, CV or otherwise.
