I guess the core concept of zeo is bak+zs3+carbon+skimmer

i haven't dosed anything else so far because i feed a lot

no problem..remember to split the dosing for start3 morning and night Start low dose observe your corals and test and test until you find the right dosage for you ones on the bottle is max dosage..try to get lowered slowly if it goes to fast you will see some stn ...and I would give it time for the bacteria to build to consume the n and p's so just be patient..if you do it slowly with just these to additives you will be able to tell if you're over dosing...there's a thread that I started on zeo with list of things to keep in mind when starting zeo lots of input from everyone. .

great thread guys.. I have been using about 9 cups of gfo and replacing two bags every month or so and dosing around 40ml of vinegar daily.. My system is 550 true gallons... My sps was doing fairly well, but not thriving,,, i noticed my skimmer wasnt skimming well set at a high level.. i decided to slowly remove gfo as i heard it can interfere.. My skimmer started skimming much more efficiently.

well.. about three weeks later and basically all of my sps are taking a turn for the worse. rtn from bottom up.. I feed half a large sheet of nori a day and a small amount of rinsed mysis.. I do have about 20 fish and 12 large tangs.

I really dont know what to do but was thinking prodibio... I do have a neon green nepthia that some people say should not be in an sps tank.. I highly doubt that would effect my sps like this..

I really want to try something to get all my levels finally perfect again.. I am also thinking about going lps, i love both, but losing sps sucks!

I will be adding a ton of more live rock to my two sumps in the basement... I do have enough, but feel like overloading them may be better.

thanks for any help guys
