    That's what I originally did a few days ago but the guessing had to stop.

    Update

    Its been over weeks since running full ZeoVit to my tank. I have just finished the 14 day cycle and the diatom bloom has erupted.

    The only problem I am experiencing is high phosphates which are reading .25. The zeoheads think I am experiencing this is because the top 4 (meaning the zeolites, zeobac, zeofood7, and zeostart3) has changed. Instead of using zeofood7 I should be using sponge power. Apparently the PDFs that i used hasn't been updated. Zeofood7 is supposed to be used when the system becomes ultra low in nutrients.

    Sponge power is designed for filter feeders such as sponges, tridacna clams and sea squirts.

    Increased growth of filter feeding species
    Supports increased water processing and ultimately water quality
    Longer colored tip portions of SPS corals
    Purple enhancements in SPS corals
    Improves recovery of damaged corals

    They also suggested that I use Biomate. The responsibilities of biomate is:

    Reduce mulm deposits
    Reduce phosphate
    Clean Live Rock and substrates

    I will be purchasing these next week and they say that it should take about 2 weeks and the phosphates will decrease. So we will see whats up until then.

    Happy Holidays and wishing you a very Happy New Year. :xmas::xmas::xmas:
