I stopped by A.A today and picked up the following Zeo products; Pohl's extra, Coral snow, Sponge power, Amino Acid and Coral Vitalizer. I have an SPS dominated 90gal sumpless reef. I have started dosing as per instructions. Is there anything I should add, or subtract. I will add the reactor when the 220gal with 75gal sump comes on line.
Sorry to hi-jack your thread, Colin. Keith.

hey keith i've learned that we should not be adding that stuff until about 4 - 6 weeks after using zeolite, zeostart, zeofood7, and zeobac. they say it may be ok to use the CV and SP but the others we should wait to add after the corals have started to lighten up.

well the second day after the initial dose there is a couple sps that are really po'd. the stripped out in the middle of the colony and the other at the tip. i have stopped dosing everything i had initially and i am going to go with the basics to start. i guess i had not enough info yet to get started, but live and learn. i still need to upload some pics to keep updated on here but as of now nothing is good, doesnt help my bloody skimmer is not running because of the recirc pump

i was to a point, but i have now stopped dosing and i am waiting for the zeobak, zeostart to come in so i can start fresh and from the beginning. i jumped the gun for sure. i was under the impression that i could use these other additives during the start stage as well but i dont think that was right.

I have only dosed for the one night. I was under the impression that you could dose the additives I listed with or with out the reactor and Zeo back etc. I had great colour and polyp extension before the dose. I had payed special attention to a powder blue stag that was starting to encrust at the base. I wanted to see what would happen. Know what happened? RTN! Deep breath! I will take a step back and look at this again. All other corals seemed ok this morning before I left for work. Fingers crossed.

It is quite common to none Zeo Tank to dose Amino Acids, Coral vitalizer, Coral Snow, Sponge Power and Extra. but you will not experience the same results as you would with a Zeo Tank. The results are still very good.
But Zeo Tank I mean a tank that is running the basic 4 and has established a low nutrient system

I will be adding the reactor onto my 220 gal. when it is up and running in the new year but right now on this tank I have no sump. A hang on reactor would solve this but as far as I know there is no such thing. Should the doses be based on the size/gallon of the tank or on the actual amout of water less the rock in the system? Seems like a stupid question but I do not need another tank crash for the hollidays. Guess I'm just nervous.
