yes you can use those without a zeo reactor. Consider Prodibio if you have no room for a reactor in your sump.

0 phospates, 0 nitrates
Good skimmer, GFO, the best carbon & biopellets. Calcium reactor keeps the alk and ca levels very stable. And I dose with aminos, sponge power, coral vitalizer and coral snow. No doubt yer corals will turn brown if the nitrates level gets too high. Carbon will keep the water colourless so that you can get the most out of your lighting. My skimmer probably strips a lot of things my corals would otherwise feed on. I do dose with homegrown phyto (don't tell the cops). I do shut the skimmer off for a few hours every time I dose. I don't hav a clue how much my corals are up taking anything I dose.
