Hi Layton, How are your phosphates ?

Here's a thread on the use of vodka, you will have to get google to translate it. http://www.riffaquaristik.ch/forum/thre ... 266fb12399 This one is personel communications with someone in germany: Please do not do the mistake and use the Vodka for your tank. This method is nothing news, it was practiced by some German reefers 10 years ago. Now some special friends of me , Michael Mrutzek together with Jörg Kokott, who is a biological student, posted a article testing the dosing in his private reef tank. What they found out is that PO4 and NO3 levels go down because bacteria in the tank can use the Vodka as food source. That is nothing other tank a carbon source. I know his tank from pictures, what can I say, all the SPS show no color before he used the Vodka. Now some weeks later some of his corals show a little bit color, but in my opinion the show terrible coloration. They posted the article in a German magazine in January 2004. There are no long-term-tests this time. They make propaganda for this method for reefers thye keep corals which need plankton to keep alive. With this combination it is possible to add high loads of plankton (Cyclop Eeze) and nutrients to keep these corals alive. That is the real cause for the method. Thomas did also Vodka tests 4 years ago. He lost a lot of his corals. I also know two other people they had a wonderful SPS tank. They also decided do to some Vodka tests, what can I say, they also lost a lot of corals some weeks after beginning. They lost tissue beginning form the tips. Now some other people report that they have a lot of problems since the use Vodka. Thats all for the vodka method, will post more on the immitation zeovit method later when i have time. Regards Brendan

Well this is good news. Finally "reef" has admitted he is not using zeovit but the other product. Its always good to have competion. Lets us know how your product goes, and please be honest with photo's and all that. No lies allowed. Brendan

Hi Layton, Sorry, but did not get your inquires about zeovit. What address did you send them to ? We have changed our email address to [email protected] .Hope this helps. Brendan

Would just like to say if you are not using the product zeovit please do not use this name. The original product has " Korrallen-zucht " written on the packaging. There seems to be alot of people claiming they have used " zeovit " and they havn't. They are using a copy product that has not had much success oversea's. I am worried this product is going to taint the good name "zeovit" has . Please be weary of immitations. I want to also clear up a point of using phosphate removers with zeovit. You do not use them at all. The zeovit system is a complete system. If you had to use phosphate removers why use zeovit ? It seems pointless to me. Also would like to know how zeovit leaves a coating of nice colour on the coral. Does it get out a minny spray can of paint ?

I will dig up some evidence and post later. In regards to the highly unsaturated fatt acids, i have a bottle of Selcon that i use for breeding fish. This is full of Hufa's but dosn't smell the same. Thomas Pohl who owns zeovit in germany won't even tell me whats in the zeofood but say's its not vodka or vinegar. He is keeping quite about it as he has the patent on the product and wants to stop people copying it. Regards, Brendan. Zeovitnz/australia

When using the zeovit system you won't need a refugium so you won't have to worry about it crashing. Also when i look in my zeovit filter, there are plenty of copepods, another reason for not using a refugium. Its all pretty simple, maybe this is a reason people can't believe it works. I would like to know where iduncan got his zeovit from as i can't remember selling to someone in Christchurch ?!

I know quite alot of Germans, but none are using vodka. Vodka is old technology and has been proven not to work. Seriataporas are one of the corals that have died off in an experiment using vodka. Acroporas soon follow. I don't know why everone thinks zeovit is vodka or vinegar based. Probably the smell. The inventor of zeovit has said many times this is a preservative to stop the zeofood going off. Imagine that, a simple explanation.
