I have only dosed for the one night. I was under the impression that you could dose the additives I listed with or with out the reactor and Zeo back etc. I had great colour and polyp extension before the dose. I had payed special attention to a powder blue stag that was starting to encrust at the base. I wanted to see what would happen. Know what happened? RTN! Deep breath! I will take a step back and look at this again. All other corals seemed ok this morning before I left for work. Fingers crossed.

It is quite common to none Zeo Tank to dose Amino Acids, Coral vitalizer, Coral Snow, Sponge Power and Extra. but you will not experience the same results as you would with a Zeo Tank. The results are still very good.
But Zeo Tank I mean a tank that is running the basic 4 and has established a low nutrient system

I will be adding the reactor onto my 220 gal. when it is up and running in the new year but right now on this tank I have no sump. A hang on reactor would solve this but as far as I know there is no such thing. Should the doses be based on the size/gallon of the tank or on the actual amout of water less the rock in the system? Seems like a stupid question but I do not need another tank crash for the hollidays. Guess I'm just nervous.

You kH is too high. Anything beyond 7-8 and you will get burnt tips and unhappy coral.

Is it just me or is 7-8 kh lower than most of us keep are tanks? I have talked to very successful reefers that aim for 8-10 I even had someone tell me they tried to keep their reef at 10-11 kh. If this apearently low kh is a requirement I wish it was stated on some of the literature I read. Or on any of the bottles for that matter. I have only had the powder blue stag rtn from the tip every thing else seems ok.
Just my 2 cents worth.

Page 27 section 10 of the Zeo guide outline in black and white what perameter that are required. Actual NSW has a DKH of about 7.
