ZEOvit/200G Build Journal - 34G Solana

[GreenSpottedPuffer]

On another note, I started the Coral Snow today for cyano, so we'll see how that goes.

I am also going to need a 3L reactor according to the ZEOvit.com guys. I PM'd one of the main guys there and he says a 1.5L reactor is just way too undersized for my new Net Water Volume. I mentioned keeping a filter bag of ZEO passively in the sump as well but apparently it won't quite do the same thing. He did say if I can't upgrade it may work but just not nearly as effective.

So I am going to see if I can sell the 1.5L for a decent price and then buy a 3L. If I can't sell it for what I want, then I will try it out and see how it goes.

Right now though, I need to slow down on spending! New tank, stand, pendants, bulbs, ZEO reactor, expensive fish, ect, ect. Its adding up to well over $2000 the past month and a half

Disappointed...someone claims to be coming back to "dispel" all these myths and then never shows?




Anyways, started coral snow two days ago and not much cyano left. Just a tiny bit in one spot but it looks to be going away too. This stuff is pretty awesome. Coral polyp extension was pretty crazy while dosing it too

No I never did. So I think coral snow should be used from the beginning to control or prevent cyano.

I am really amazed at how quickly its taken care of the huge outbreak. Literally two doses and its 80% gone. I would say another day or two and no more cyano.


Much better solution in my opinion than red slime remover or especially lights out for a few days.

The guys over on the zeovit forum mentioned using zeozyme rather than coral snow at startup ... i havn't used either I used coral snow before i had a full zeo system though, worked nicely.

I'm glad the coral snow helped. It really helped me

I figured it would but not this fast. WOW. A whole sand bed of cyano almost gone in two days. Plus coral PE seemed better right after dosing coral snow.

Yeah I they told me that too but I refuse to pay the insane price of the ZEOzyme. The idea for me was to use the basic ZEO system to get my nutrients down and a FEW additives if needed. But also to keep costs down. I don't want to start dosing hundreds of dollars of products and be counting drops all day. IMO then ZEO is very inconvenient. I am already finding the 5 drops a day of two additives and 5ml a day of the ZEOstart getting old.

5ml or 0.5ml?

Glad to hear the PCS worked.
