Typically.
It's intended strip the system if compounds and nutrients. (ULN)

of which,
LPS corals are not fond of, as they typically come from more nutrient rich environments.

It's a type of probiotic / bacteria rich system, if you will.

There are many threads of LPS dominated tanks running it, they seem to just dose more AA and feed the corals more heavily and don't burn their lights too high.

It's a ton more work and manipulation & precision for a typical non SPS dominated tank.

some of the products work well without the reactor and other don't. Most people use the troubleshooting and the amino acid products without the reactor

I don't think it's that difficult to read my posts everyone uses short cuts when it comes to spelling used less space rather than write a whole story down but thanks anyway for your input you must be a teacher lol

Coral snow, biomat and ZeoZym are the 3 troubleshooters I'm using. Having started using the other additives yet as I'm only about 2 month into the zeosystem.

For the types of corals you want, I don't think you need/want to do a zeovit system.


Yep. Zeovit seems to be designed for ultra low nutrient SPS tanks. I went whole hog for 6 months with a new 180 in 5/13 but gave up when I could not keep parameters at recommended levels. Expensive as hell, and SPS grew like crazy before and after Zeovit additives.
