Setting up ZEOvit System

AAC does not need to be in the fridge?

From everything I've read and understood only PCV and ZeoBac need to be in the fridge (allthough the new version of bac can be left out if the ambient temp is <20deg. C.)

Oh shoot your right. It's coral Vitializer and Bac that is refrigerated. I refrigerate everything. As I have a bar fridge right next to my tank

I'd also add sponge power to the list of good additional products, I really like it myself.

I've thought about using a dosing pump for the Start myself too, in the guide it suggests dosing 4 times daily with this method.

I should look for the thread but on zeovit.com some one had posted an auto flush reactor that would blast water through the zeolites on a timer.

Dosing pumps are keeeeewwwl.

Honestly, I don't find Zeo to be any more work really. It just changes the routine a little bit, sure, but it's not like I wasn't already doing something everyday with the tanks. If nothing else, I at least feed the fish everyday, so adding a few drops of this or that into that is not too bad. Pumping the reactor, well, I dunno, maybe I'm weird but I sort of look forward to doing that in the morning and evening..

It's not as good a system as Zeo, but you could alternatively consider Polyp-Laps Reef-Resh system. You can dose it on a weekly basis instead of daily, and there's no reactor. I was running this (still am actually on different tanks) prior to Zeo and it did show some remarkable effects on pulling down NO3.

I'm like you Tony.. I seem to get a kick out of pumping the reactor and watching the mulm flow out.

Most of us like Tony because he's a bundle of mega lovin', Greg. Just thought I'd mention it so that we may avert an awkward situation.

LOL... Oh Albert .... I thought we were going to keep that a secret.
