Attn Zeo Users

[Millepora_Maniac]

HI Man, these chemicals are pretty crazy if you use the full system. I would only recommend you use the addidtives that don't require the reactor. My friend and I almost nuked our tanks with these things! You have to be careful when using the full system that you don't rip too many nutrients from the water too fast. If you do then you'll end up with bleaching and even STN or even worse RTN (overdose). I have tried it and seen it do all different things for different people, coloring up then bleaching, then coloring up again. Weird.

In short, I don't trust in it. But I do trust in water changes! It gives me more color than Zeo ever could!

I disagree, there is a level of commitment needed to run the zeovit system. If you are starting it on a existing system you need to go very slowly at the beginning, because it does remove all NO3 and PO4. This is all stated very clearly in the zeo guide.

That said coral vitalizer, sponge power, coral snow, pohls xtra, amino acids, seawater complex are all great products to use on any system.

So which zeo products did you try out fencer and what effect did they have?

[fencer]

Haven't tried any out. Just curious to see if some zeo stuff can be used without buying to whole show. But hat I have read most use Coral snow, Coral vitalizer, Amino Acids and Pohl's Extra

[mandarin man]

I am just wondering if coral vitalizer is just for SPS, not LPS? And AA LPS is truly for LPS (food)?

Oh yes, absolutely. Which is why I'm proceeding very cautiously.

Things like Amino Acids, Coral Snow and Coral Vitalizer have absolutely no impact other than wasting your money if you overdose. Regardless, with any of these products, the listed price on the bottle is the MAXIMUM recommended dose. You should start with half dose then work your way up until you achieve the results you're looking for.
