Whats your thoughts Randy?

Hi Randy,
Ive asked you a couple of things in the past and you have always been very quick to revert and very helpful.

I have decided to do away with my mineral mud system and try the Zeovit method, which although new seems very controversial already with some users swearing by it and others with no experience it would seem loathing it.

I just wondered what your thoughts were, if any on it as it would make interesting reading.

Thanks in advance

Gary

I've participated in a number of threads on zeovit, but I'll just summarize a couple of comments here:

1. I see no reason to doubt that it keeps nutrients low, if that is a goal.

2. Keeping nutrients below natural levels may have long term consequences that are not optimal. Poor coralline growth, for example, seems to happen in some systems using zeovit.

3. It isn't something that I feel a desire to try right now.
