ZEObak - new to product; rapid redox climb in 6 hours: safe?

[bergzy]

there is a thread on zeovit in this forum that i answered. also, you can go to their forum and ask the mods there if they ever experienced this.

zeobac is a component of the zeovit system. yes, this is the bacterial strain part of the system and a vital one at that. but so is the food7, start2 and the zeolites.

most likely than not, dosing the bacteria will not have any ill effects on your tank...but i would be 'cautious' in the future about adding things without full understanding. there are things in the zeo line that can wreak utter chaos on your system if used incorrectly. heck, even too fast a flow rate through the rocks or too much rocks can have a very negative effect on your tank.

in theory and in practice, the zeobac is to be added to your system with the zeolites in place. the bacteria are to colonize the rocks and is fed by food7. as the bacteria grow in numbers, you are to 'shake' them off the rocks which are destined to be bacterioplanktonic food for corals. start2 is designated the nitrate and phosphate reduction solution to establish a low nutrient environment. all need to work concurrently and in synergy (just had to use that word) for a successful 'zeovit' system (which my explanation is much much too short to even go into mildly).

congrats on your increased redox!!!

give me a shout if you decide to saunter over the the zeo forum.
