I asked the same thing on RC a while back.

I think the big difference is average surface area. I believe smaller zeolytes have a larger surface area making contact with the water. It's like having more zeorocks maybe? I think a better questions is what role does rock size play in all this? Because I think they're the same damned rocks only size makes a difference. Ammonia rocks have been around forever, it's just the organic carbon dosing companies that figured out what else they can be used for.

I figured as much, I just didn't want to "waste" (ie sit around and collect dust) the FM zeolites that I have here. I've added a couple zeo products to my ultralith setup (coral vitalizer and coral snow) and I must say they've done more for my tank in the first week or two than the previous 5 months of ultralith so I was looking to maybe get into the full zeo line.

Hi Christy

I have been using both of those products with the same response. I love the results of Coral Snow, it makes my water glisten. I use 8 ml once a week.

You use coral snow only once a week? I just started adding coral snow to my ZEOvit system, but use 10 ml (1ml Coral Snow per 25gallons) daily.

Try substituting the Ultralith zeolite rocks into your ZEOvit reactor and see if you notice any difference?

Hey Shane,

I don't use a reactor, I find it works better/same running it passively in the sump in a cherry tomato bag

Currently I'm already running the Ultralith rocks with the ultralith system. Or did you mean use the Zeo rocks with the ultralith system to see if there was a difference?

I was using 4ml of coral snow daily in 100gal of water for the first week, then I decided to use it every second day. I read on zeovit that it was recommended 0.025ml/25gal 3x a week which is way less.
