Started ZEOvit
 

Like the title says, started ZEOvit last night. It makes me really nervous, for some reason! I'm sure it'll all work out.

I'll be taking some before photos to see if this helps slow or eliminate the valonia that has become the thorn in my side!

Any random little hints, suggestions, praises or warnings anyone can offer in regards to ZEOvit would be great!

Ooh keep us posted on the valonia situation! Any chance you have some brown wafer algae to keep an eye on as well? effing wafer algae *grumble*

Christy...I have some, but very little, of the brown wafer algae. I'll keep an eye on it for you :) This valonia is breaking my heart, though. Ugghh! I'm testing zero nitrates and zero phosphates consistently. Water changes, blah blah blah....nothing seems to phase it. I could continue to remove it manually (and I will), but I'd like to see if this makes any difference whatsoever.

I've also started programming my lights to go off for an hour in the middle of the photoperiod (a little trick I learned on the zeovit forum website), and I think it might've helped a little already.

I used Zeovit from day one and ammonia didn't even register during the cycle. Could tell that ammonia was being cycled when Nitrate started showing up at trace levels after a month.

The thng I found difficult was how to interpret what the tank was going through with the test results being different than what I would normally see.

Sweet! I think you'll be happy. I can't wait to start too. I just need to get my hands on a reactor. Aaaand, Ok, maybe get a tank going too I suppose.

Tony - where do you get a zeo reactor?, I noticed J&L has one on their site now, anywhere else around here?

Albert at Gold mentioned having some available after MACNA this year. At least I'm pretty sure he did. Might be worth sending him a PM.

Hi Wayne - I actually don't have a reactor yet. I've just decided I will be going with Zeo when the new tank is actually going. :)

Who was it on here that made their own kick *** reactor??
