so basically,we can use zeomag and aragonite in a calcium reactor without using the entire zeo range ivan?can we use 50% of each in the reactor?
jpg29. Contact George from Tunze for Zeolites. Im currently using his stuff, and it works well! Well LR is important in any system. That is the heart of biological filtration IMO.
Correct! The Zeolits, hold the bacteria and every time it is flushed, it releases bacteria into the tank.what do you think... does the ZEOvit product 'ZEObak' and 'ZEOfood' etc. have all the bacteria/Microorganisms required for a successful reef?
For a safe alternative on nutrient reduction use Prodibio. It's bacteria which consume nitrates and phosphates and other nasties and the food to feed them. I have no DSB or denitrifier and have zero nitrates and phosphates. You can order them online and they are infinately cheaper than Zeovit
There are many permutations and compromises for the perfect captive Reef. However i do not believe that live rock and likewise skimming should ever be one of them. Live rock inoculates your tank with micro fauna and bacteria that offer a happier home for so many more inverts, not to mention temperamental fish, that ceramic rock could never substitute.I've read on the ZEOvit site that you need not use LR?
