Tested water on sunday and discovered low KH of about 7 and monitored Ph swing from 7.8-8.1 during a 24hr period.

Started dosing reef buffer to bring up Ph to about 8.2 during the day and 8.0 at nite and Alk is at 12 now.

Also adjusted Magnesium from 1170 to 1250 now. Ca is at 450.

Is a Ph swing of about 0.2 ok?

As of today , Zeovit has been running in my FR for 2 days. Have done the daily shakedown of the reactor to free up the detritus and mulm from the ZEOliths...The mulm is supposed to feed the SPS or sumthing to that extend.

Considering my Water Vol of about 800L, I am using 50% (1L of ZEOvit)of whats recommended for the first month or so and will ramp up to 2 L of zeovit after 6 weeks or so.. dosing of the 'additives' are also at 50% (4drops/4drops/4ml) of whats recommended for my tank volume.

No visible changes to the system yet but I guess the system is still building up its capability.

Will update the progress as and when I see some changes to the tank conditions.

Terryansimon, Data is courtesy of my IKS. Attached it to an old unused laptop and it will upload the captured data wirelessly to a webserver so I can see the values in almost real-time if I need to. Very cool! I am such a computer geek.. hehehe :)

Just an update on the observation of the Reef Tank condition during week 3 of ZEOvit. Have stop dosing all additives for the past 2 days as per the ZEOvit guide.

Came home to much clearer water which seems to brighten up the lights punching thru the 2+ ft of water. It looks like a healthier tank condition overall and continue to observe for changes...

Finally my water condition is improving from longkang quality and hopefully moving towards Fiji waters. *crossing fingers*
