You will do good... Dosing and everything.

What are you using for video? Cell phone or what?

The almighty iPhone 5. Thinking about getting a Nikon D90.

Hi Wayne,
I didn't realize you were going with 2 reactors. Good luck. That will really take care of nutrients.

I need four liters of zeolites for my system and it was suggested I place 2 liters in each reactor.

those are some pretty blue bottles you got there Wayne!!!! how much do you estimate it will cost to run zeo every month?

$100-150 for now. Im sure thats going to go up once I start dosing the other products depending on the needs of the tank.

The stones need to be replaced every 6-8 weeks depending on readings.

 

[SPotter]

ouch!!! is that in addition to the electrical costs associated with the tank????

No sir. I'll have a better number for you in the coming months.

So I started to setup one of my reactors because they shipped the other one without a pump. So I placed the stones in media bags.

And rinsed them in RO/DI water.

I then added the stones inside the reactor.

And now it's in it's final spot. The second reactor will sit next to this one.

Now the real fun begins.

I didnt think you were supposed to run them in bags?

I placed them in the bags because the small stones clog the holes but there is efficient flow going through them. I am waiting on a response from the zeo dudes to see if I'm impeding their affect on the system.

Hello Sir, you really only want the small stones in a bag. You want the larger stones to shake freely in that bad *** reactor! Just a minor tweak really.

looking great!

wow. Black Friday / Cyber Monday were good to you!! I saw BRS had really great deals on zeovit…….BRS just put so many freaking green peanuts in their boxes!

Are all the corals moved over from your current system yet? Any updated photos of the tank to share?

Yes they were. The 3 liter ZeoVit kit normally goes for $475 and I got it for $299.

Yes everything has been converted over and a couple newbies too.

I will see since this is the first time trying ZeoVit. I love how their tanks look and the corals.
