Mesocosm also use to be a ZEOvit moderator He is a great guy and a invert research food web aquaculturist. He taught chemistry and biology for 20 years. I made ref to him way back in this thread

Thanks for those pics of the zeolites WOW ! that stuff you guys are using has some really big "holes". You can even seen the screen mount matting through them. Very easy for bacter's to colonize that stuff. Do all 4 kinds look like this or do the others have smaller to medium openings ?

Boom, that might be a different material as I found the picture long ago while a trip through the Internet.

Have not know this either

Ok Alexander. That stuff in the pic is similar to the stuff in appearance as the SeaChems Labs "de nitrate", not that is is. The SeaChem stuff seems to work better that the other so called Nitrate sponges, as it has more "usable" surface area, due to its apparent "void fraction"

Boom, the picture shows a zeolite material also but it was not explained which kind exactly it is.

I saw that but there is no way we can tell what kind it is. All I can tell is that it is a natural zeolite and not a artificial one. But I still like the pics The before and after effect. Actually, I can not even tell you it is really a zeolite from those pics

id like to blow that pic up and frame it,,,,reef fractal photography~

I hadn't heard about the ZEOvit system until I read your thread. It's a very interesting concept. I particularly liked this quote:

I too have read a great deal about it. It certainly can be successful, and can have some beautiful results, however the same can be achieved through a dearth of methods. There are no absolutes in this hobby, and a lot of times the main point is to find what works best in your setup. What I understood about the Zeovit system led me to feel there was very little margin of error in the system, requiring the constant checking of levels and maintenance of filtration aspects. That said, if you are willing to put the work involved in, the results certainly can be worth it.

Well guys is that if for Alexander:evileye:

I have been doing tons of reading on zeovit and I even posted my tank stats on zeovit.com... I wish I had done this sooner. I figured the $ I spent on a UV sterilizer and ozone I could have baught the supplies for a zeovit tank.. I Know I will get all the supplies in time... After xmas... when my funds pick up again.

looks like its a wrap.... thank you Alexander for comming to RS !!!
I'm sure now that some members are looking to start the zeo system there will be plenty of questions further down the road.

This turned out to be a very nice thread. Thank you Alexander for taking your time out and getting involved in yet another thread on a forum. Boomer, thank you. I have a much better understanding now on zeolites and how this system works. I see the lure for you with this system and think it a shame you don't start at least a small system to tinker with.
I think the only thing for me to do now is get involved. I don't see turning my current tank over to this. It is great the way it is. I will start off from scratch and use the sponsor here for setting it up. Thanks for that info Booze!

 

[blue_eyes53813]

I am sure after I get the supplies I will have TONS of questions. But It will be awhile yet. I am currently writing up a fake schedule of the product dosing and getting it all laid out. That is gonna be the hard part at 1st. Getting use to all the product, But Im sure in time it will get easier.

 

[Frankie]

I found it but don't see the actual media in there list. Prices are not as bad as i was thinking but i can see how it will add up.
