    o2manyfish - Skimmer Comparison

    This thread will generate more than just a causal look--prime-time on the frontier :) Bob

    ZEOvit

    Hi Mike, I'm at the 1/2 yr. mark on ZEOvit. There are some tank pixs on the ZEOvit Forum under "Aged Salt's tank pix" taken by a fellow Indiana reefer, ReefTechie. Reed, nobody really knows the exact mechanism of action of these specialized zeolites, but without a doubt the end result is...

    :lol: Now Nikki, I wouldn't do that. I pointed out a detailed ZEOvit reference to help answer Fishy questions. Bob

    Why you never see the big name tanks???

    Mike, maybe that was Alberto's real point?? Bob

    Rapid Tissue Nicrossis?

    I agree with Mike, I've had some luck with encircling the edge of tissue necrosis with including good tissue within the glue bead. Bob

    Don, most of the zeo-users to my knowledge, have not made any other changes in their system. A efficient skimmer is advantageous with any method, whether it be recirculating, beckett-venturi, etc....Curt,if my response offended you, that was it my intent. I respect your opinion, as I said above...

    Curt, different people, different tanks. That's OK. The Zeobak contains multiple bacterial strains. Are they effective? are they useless? I don't really know nor do you. I do know that I have a 500g system that I have been dosing bak now for 4mos. & still have that bottle 1/2 full, so it's...

    Sorry, everyone, I'm really not good at this, but let's try this: www.wetwebmedia.com/ca/cav1i3/zeovit/Zeolite_Filters/Zeolite_Filters.htm Bob

    Those interested in the possible zeolite mechanisms in aquaria, an informative article appears in www.wetmedia.com by Jens Kallmeyer. It's from the same website that Alexander Girz's article on ZEOvit is currently appearing. Bob

    ZEOvit

    Mike, I've always said never give up a sure thing for a possibility. ZEOvit system IS not for everyone & everyone will not automatically be successful. For you & Jerel, & others who do not have to work at maintaining a beautiful reef, there might not be an advantage. Time will tell. Remember...

    ZEOvit

    Mike, your reef is an outstanding example. Different methods can produce similar results. What I've sensed with using this system is the ability to control nutrients in an easy, precise, nonlaborous way & at the same time maintain SPS coloration. Other than adding the components[1min] & pumping...

    Ed, let your buddy know I'm willing to answer any questions or make recommendations. He can feel free to PM/EM me. Bob

    ZEOvit

    Thnx. Ed for the link. I'll need to read that one :) Alexander uses a H&S. I talked to him today & after testing the Bubble-King[with titanium pin-wheels] he may change. Ed, I also know for fact, that over on RC a negative ZEOvit poster has been using the system. I really think as people SEE the...

    ZEOvit

    Don, ammonia uptake is the key why the current within the zeo-filter must be high, o/w bacteria wouldn't have any chance to process the dissolved inorganic nutrients. Therefore, the clinoptilolites absorb ammonia, the bacteria nitrify the ammonia on the oxic surface which is further denitrified...

    ZEOvit

    Well, my P04's are zero for a reason since I've started ZEOvit. The method reduces N's/P's to very low levels that I've never been able to reach before with previous methods, ie. DSB/p; P04 absorbers; Poly-Filters; The cleaning out the stones is performed daily with simple handle pumping up/down...

    ZEOvit

    :lol: That's the 64K dollar question. First off, believe me, Thomas knows exactly what each components composition & their specific functions. I mean, he created the system & reproduces the components for use. I also think he's wary of telling all that interacts in his system. You can...

    Hi Mike, sounds like MACNA experienced some problems :( Apparently your German is good because Thomas Pohl is not affluent in English. Mike, really based on my posts & Big-t's link to the ZEOvit guide, p.4 of this thread which contains all the know-how stuff, there's not much more to explain...

    Phosphate Remover Article

    Hi Ed, I certainly respect your viewpoint that is shared by many. I do not want to derail this thread; I was answering RedEye's Q regarding another means to reduce P04's. Bob
