Thanks for the input Allmost. At this time I am using NeoZeo perhaps for the very reason that KZ won't publish how it works. It may very well be the case they don't even know, but at this time I personally prefer using a different brand. I won't lie I have KZ products in my refrigerator and I may in time use a hybrid of both systems. At this point I want to give the NeoZeo method at least 2-3 months before I start trying to potentially tweak it with other items as I see fit.
From the NeoZeo directions: "NēoZeo is a blend of zeolites that selectively remove ammonium and certain other monovalent cations from seawater (leaving divalent cations such as calcium, magnesium, strontium, and various minor and trace elements alone), exchanging them primarily for potassium ions, however this is not the primary means of water quality improvement provided by this media; rather, the colonization of the media's vast surface area with the appropriate types of nutrient-remineralizing microorganisms, such as those found in MicrōBacter7, serves to deplete existing concentrations of dissolved organic material from the aquarium. "
Allmost ~ what percentage of your Zeolit media do you replace as it begins to lose it's ability to work(as you say lose the ability absorb phosphates)? Also ~ how much do you use on what size system? Do you have a link to a description of what you personally do?
BTW, I just wanted to state that I brought this thread back from the dead just to state I disagreed that, "there is not much of a difference at all between the two systems".
