Hi,

I don’t know yet.
Normally i use kz zeostart.

Kind regards,

Any reason why your going away from the Zeostart as a carbon source?
Likely costing for larger system? Let me know.

In my old tank i had a higher no3 level than i want have.
So i want try if it helps me to reduce this with my own mix.
If it not brings what i expect i gonna use the zeostart.

Kind regards

I'm in a similar situation. I used the old XL pellets from Reef Interests and now they have only AIO XL pellets and they won't work as the old ones, in addition the old ones I still had to tackle Po4 while No3 was easily undetectable.

So thought about going back to VSV as I did years back, not even sure anymore why I changed lol.
So I remember having issues with Cyano while using certain sugars in the mix.
At the end I used simply Vodka with some Vinegar an no more sugar with the results of crisp water, because most sugars superpopulate a lot of heterotrophic white bacteria.
Honey sounds interesting, but I know Honey is contaminated with bacteria you will then bring into the tank as well and into the solution where they can grow nicely.

I used only for a while Zeostart as carb source before I started the pellets, hence not sure how the nutrient balance would have turned out on the long run. I do see more and more folks going away from the new Zeostart.

That is a long wait.
What are your ideas for the lighting? Do you have already something in mind?

Have you noticed with reefers, when it comes to habitat, tank placement is always the first thought.
