What's your take on zeovit?

Did it come with the extra foot as well?

LOL! I was just gonna comment on it. I think the big toe is used to regulate the amt of flow going into the reactor.

Nop. Got it locally. Shipping was getting way too expensive

Raied I have three bags of zeolites that you can have when I get home. Many moons ago when I set up my tank I waffled between going zeo or not. I even started buying some of the products (hence the three bags of zeolites). Then I realized that if it was something my tank needed every single day and I could not automate it with a doser, I was not going to be able to maintain it long term because A) I'm soooooooooo lazy and B) I go out of town a lot, often for long stretches.

I settled on biopellets in a recirculating reactor, which has proven to be the simplest, easiest, and lowest maintenance way to limit nutrients pretty much ever, which is what the number 1 criteria by which I judge something tank related these days. It's worked well, but I've had three bags of zeolite space taking up valuable drawer space ever since lol!

That would be awesome

I just wanted to add my 2 cents. I have been using quite a few zeo products for a few months now. I started with Pohl's Xtra and K-Balance. Noticed a difference in my tank right away. Then I bought some LPS Amino Acids. Corals looking even healthier. Then because I have so much Sps, I started adding Strontium Complex and Magnesium Complex. Havent had anything rtn since starting those two and sps was looking healthier. Now I have been reading about Coral Booster and Coral Snow so I picked up a bottle of each and started to dose that as of today. Keep in mind that I do use a good salt and still have been seeing a difference in my corals when it comes to PE and overall health. I also kept up on WC's before I started using Zeo so I know its not just that. The way I look at it, for the amount of money I spend on corals... Its worth it to spend a few hundred or more per year to keep them healthy. Just wanted to share my experience with the zeo line. Word.

Good stuff! It's always nice to hear success stories like yours. How about some pics?

Forgot to mention that this is a 20 gallon frag tank that gets all of the nice treatment. My other tanks get nothing special but good ol' water changes. The frag tank has all my higher end sps in it. Just to clarify its not anything to brag about like some 200gal sps reef tank.
