Here is my storey of the conversion over to ULNS of my tank 48x20x28 mixed reef
this has been set up one and a half years and has not IMO look as good as I would like
I have a small amount of cyno on the live rock and sand bed and also I'm having to clean the glass daily if not more

Current filtration is
Liver rock
Fast flow dark DSB
separate algae tank
phosphate reactor
UV and Ozone
Also running balling lite

I'm thinking going with the Korallen Zucht Zeovit system it seems a bit less technical then the Fauna Marin system but that just IMO

so where do I start done the reading now getting the equipment up together
Reactor
I have gone with a Vertex ZF-15 reactor and it arrived today and on unpacking it I'm pleased with the build quality of it here are some photos


first a fall view shot




then a shot of the stone container




A shot down from the top




Non return valve (must keep this clean) to stop the reactor from emptying when the feed pump is off (3 hours on, 3 hours off)




The T bar for pumping the stones 10 times once a day




And the stone container in the raised position





That's it for now as I need to do some work to be able to pay for the rest of the kit

Looks a robust piece of kit... Very similar in style to my Deltec skimmer... Wonder if it's manufactured by the same company?

Best of luck (no, not luck... Skill!) with the change over... Better do a bit of reading to see how this differs from Balling Lite...

I want to watch this one as well

This is a form of filtration like a DSB or MM not a form of adding calc, alk and mag as balling is I will still be using balling for addition of them


Have a read of the guide HERE may help you to understand what is all about

Just ordered the rest of the kit for this

so I have coming

3kg of Zeovit stones
10mil of Zeobac
50mil of Zeofood7
250mil of Zeostart2
and 100mil of Zeo carbon

for £87 including delivery

Got an e-mail on the 8th saying


as the last time this happend (not from this company) the order was over a month till it arrived (I wont be using them again)


then got another e-mail today saying


then got another e-mail saying


well if it turns up at the correct time I will be happy

If you have some cyano you will probably not need the Food7 for a while as this can fuel it further. Good look with the Zeo I am having good results so far with mine.

Thanks I have been told to leave of the start7 for two weeks then start at half dosage

Hoping to get it all set up this week end BUT the wife thinks I'm laying the new flooring in the kitchen well it's been half done now for 3 weeks another 2 weeks wont hurt (or will it)

I take it you mean leave of the Food7 not the start7 (whatever that is )

Yep food7 Its been a long day
