Soooooo. I had pretty much all decided I was going to discontinue Zeovit, just hadn't pulled that particular trigger as yet.
Then the good folks at Korallen-Zucht had to go and pull THIS: http://reefbuilders.com/2010/03/15/z...ntent=FaceBook I dunno.. !!! Fancy coloured bag!!! Pretty darned tempting !!! (No, I'm totally being serious here. Or at least, I'm seriously interested in at least finding out how different they really are, packaging change notwithstanding.  )

It is "more powerful" with "new composition" .. oohh.. ahhh.
That has always been one issue that I've had with zeovit, on all the packaging they mind as well write, "Contains Stuff; just use it".

Well .. actually, been sort of thinking about this on and off all day. And, .. I think I am going to discontinue the Zeovit/Zeolites reactor after all. I just took out 1/4 of the zeolites, will wait a bit and repeat and wait, and so on, until it's empty.
The reason being this. More or less I've been off the zeovit system anyhow since I left for vacation and kind of never really got it going again after coming back. So I hadn't been dosing or agitating it much for two weeks. My 4 year old kid today was playing with my nitrate meter and it jogged my memory to calibrate it as it's been a while and do some tests. I found that my nitrates are no longer zero but instead hovering around 6 or 7. Ok, not bad, but, being that it was zero a while ago, not great either. So I checked the pellet reactor output and it still seems to be zero. I checked the zeovit reactor and it's outputting 9.  So ... that's not what I want to see. I realize that it's my own fault for letting the zeolites maintenance routine slide a little, but I think it's the impetus to fully commit to the pellets. As long as the pellets stay fluidized it seems that they are far less work overall and no messing around with additives to keep the reactor working as advertised. Sorry Zeovit! I gave it my best shot.
