Do you keep detectable nitrates and phosphates? Or are you running an ULNS?

I am running the same skimmer, and the same reactor on a 600L Net system. I love the skimmer, hate the Aquabee 5000 pump. Mine came with a faulty impeller and parts are non existent in America. It's been a great performer since, but I have noticed that if a single grain of sand or activated carbon makes it's way into the becket venturi that it ruins it's performance completely. But that's an easy thing to remedy.

Looks like your reactor may be a slightly better design than mine. I think the guy who built mine was saving his glue for some big shortage (or maybe there was a big shortage) because all the glue joints are bad on mine, and it has and routinely does fall apart during stone changes. :rolleyes: The KZ warranty service in the US isn't great either. I was told they would replace it and a new one had to come in. Even got a call assuring me it would be shipped to me in "a couple months" when they received another shipment. That was 9 months ago. Anywho... not really trying to grump, but I am doing a good job of it. (Sorry, not my intent).

I REALLY like how well I can control NO3 and PO4 with the reactor, but I've switched from running undetectable NO3 and PO4 to running detectable nutrients. Hence why the contemplation of ditching the reactor (besides the above complaints).

Triton is very alluring to me, as I am not a fan of Zeovit's "mystery" blue bottles. It makes it very difficult to manage a system when you don't have a clue what you are adding, or what you should be adding.

I appreciate your bearing with me, your thread is exciting too me as I can see a lot of logic and reason in your system design. :)

Sorry for late reply
Yes I'm ulns no N03 or P04

The KZ skimmer works well

I have to say I'm very impressed with the core 7 reef supplements

This is a GREAT post! I was just thinking about this same type of set up today for my 190G SPS Reef. I love the convenience of dosing Triton, but my refugium just doesn't seem to want to grow algae. Cant figure out why (Thats another story). Would like to take the huge off line altogether and just use my zeo reactor to keep the nutrients in check. Going to finish out my current Core7 and then add on the Core 7 Other Methods going forward.
