Yes, and for that reason, Lobsterboy will probably have to tone back the Zeo. The zeo system removes nutrients from the water - including the very ones you add into the system. If he has a lot less nutrients from the water, the zeo is going to be removing a lot more of the nutrients that are deliberately introduced.

Hence you have two options, start adding a lot more zeo additives to replace those that are not being introduced any longer, or tone back a bit on the zeo as there is less nutrient load to be removed.
