Anyone with Large System Using Zeovit??

My new tank will be finished in about 2 weeks. It will be a 360 gallon tank plumbed together with my propagation system and sumps equaling around 600 gallons gross so my net water volume will be 480 gallons. Is anyone using zeovit on a system this large or larger? If I am correct, I will have to use 4.5 liters of zeoliths to keep the system going correctly. My current reactor only holds 3.5 liters. What did you guys with the large systems do for this? 2 Reactors?

I actually asked the same question on Zeovit.com and haven't had anyone with a large system reply. So I thought I would try here.

perhaps Zeovit is prohibitive costly to run in a bigger system?

ultralith and zeovit are almost the same. Ultralith have less component to dose and a little cheaper to operate. You will gain in blue and purple colors in your SPS.
