Added Zeovit zeolites to my system last week and started Zeovit dosing on Aug 1. The intent being to slowly remove GFO and move this to a complete Zeovit system. My initial dosing was unscientifically figured out the first few days. The Zeovit website has a wealth of information that is poorly organized at best, so I'm still trying to figure everything out.
Dosing Schedule:
Daily:
Weekly (Sunday):
Monthly (first day of the month):
Zeovit Questions and Answers:

2. Net water volume: 100 liters (26 gallons)
3. Are you using a CaCO2 reactor or other technique: No
4. Are you using a PO4 reactor: GFO in high flow area being phased out.
5. Are you using Ozone: No
6. Are you using UV: No
7. What skimmer are you using: Reef Octopus Space Saver 110 (rated up to 100 gallons)
8. What are your actual PO4 and NO3 levels: PO4 0.00 (Hanna); NO3 0.25
9. What are your actual Ca, Alk and Mg: Ca 480; Alk 8.4; Mg 1500
10. What filtration method do you use: Natural filtration, skimmer and filter fabric.
11. Type of light: Aquailluminations Hydra LED
12. What corals do you keep: SPS, LPS, Zoas
13. Tissue color (light or dark): Dark
14. How long has the tank been running: About 2 years
15. Why do you want to use the ZEOvit system: Limit nutrients, increase coral color and growth.
16. Any supplemental dosing: Top off with Kalkwasser, amino acids
17. Live rock: Average amount
18. Any present problems: slow growth, poor PE in acros.
19. Problem description: likely result of previously running all in one biopellets.
20. What test kit do you use: Hanna for PO4 and Alk, Elos for Ca/MG
21. Present dosing, amounts and intervals: kalk daily, amino acids every 3/4 days.
22. Other water parameters and water stability: 1.026 salinity, 80 degrees, 8.3 PH

- Amino Acid LPS: 10 drops (1 ml) daily

Thanks. It's been a long time since I did an update. The tank is running pretty well. I was on vacation for a few weeks and the hair algae and bryopsis exploded. I haven't had a chance to clean it up and add more clean-up crew.
The zeovit is going well. I think I over did it a little before vacation and my corals started losing color. I had my tank sitter cut back on dosing and and feed a bit more. I'm also not very good at remembering to shake the reactor. Otherwise I think the zeovit system is pretty easy once you figure out what all the supplements do.
I also have a sump packed with coral frags that needs to be cleared out!
